About Us
MORE ABOUT USLeading the Change for Workplace Equality, Empowerment & Engagement
What we Do
Our primary objective is to help clients anticipate and prevent problems which could result in litigation, disengaged employees or Government contract debarment, termination, or suspension. Through extensive preventive counseling, compliance audits and employee training, we assist clients in proactive policy development and decision-making so they can avoid the costly defense of complaints and the corresponding unproductive diversion of management time and energy involved with legal proceedings.
Guided by an objective to provide clients with cost-effective solutions that uniquely align with their Organization’s mission, vision and values and our desire to become an extended member of the client’s team and valued partner-we work side-by-side with client team members to learn as much as possible about the client’s workplace culture and business operations so we can responsively assist in developing and implementing compliance systems, policies, procedures and custom-designed training that will mitigate risk and improve performance.
By routinely conducting on-site compliance and organizational-wellness audits and in-person employee and Board of Director training, we help clients to create and maintain a positive workplace culture that is under-girded by fairness, open and honest communication and mutual trust and respect between managers and employees. Maintaining an inclusive and diverse environment that is easy and pleasant to work in requires continuous improvement and is essential to strengthening employee engagement and increased productivity.
At JR Solutions we believe an Organization’s employees are its greatest assets and that all workers should be upskilled, and sometimes even reskilled for increased retention, and sustainable long-term success.
