Human Resources Best Practices for Closely-Held Business
The Problem
A closely held business lacked formal HR practices, which led to challenges handling internal disputes, policy implementation, employee retention, and legal compliance issues.
Our Solution
Our attorney worked with the business owner to establish structured HR policies and practices, create an employee handbook, resolve workplace issues, and strengthen company culture.
The business lowered its potential liability by implementing stronger internal processes, resulting in transparent practices for employees. Learn more about our Employment Services.

The Problem
The employer struggled with managing workplace accommodations and leave requests, particularly FMLA leave and its requirements.
Our Solution
Alicia provided the client with detailed policies and procedures to assist the client’s HR Manager in understanding when the FMLA is triggered and the next steps. In addition, Alicia coached the HR Manager on non-FMLA accommodation requests, providing the client with forms to use and strategies for best outcomes.
