Flora Chicago

We bought a business that had no HR protocols in place. Debbie identified our needs and addressed them, leading the charge and keeping us on point and on target. We now have the HR protocols we need to move forward and upward.We know that we are in compliance with Employment law and that we are prepared for growth. We will definitely be in touch with Debbie again for HR questions when they arise.

Debbie has been instrumental in helping us gain clarity in our human resource policies. She walked us through our existing Employee Manual step by step to ensure all the policies we put in place made sense for our business. She helped us come up with a plan for implementation with our staff. She is always just an email or phone call away and responds to our concerns quickly and with great insight.

Iltaco Foods

We are a small business, growing year over year and our Human Resource Department was lacking.  We were referred to Debbie Gibbons.  We have been working with her for several months and it has been a positive  experience.  We have learned so much valuable information from Debbie.  We have reviewed important aspects of our HR and were able to tighten up and enhance our current program.  It was important for us to be compliant, ready for audits, and have the ability to deal with real time issues.  Debbie was able take us from start to finish through a process that seemed daunting before we started working with her.  We highly recommend working Debbie Gibbons because your HR does matter.   You should contact her If you don’t know where to begin, need some auditing, or simply need some advice.  She knows her stuff!
