Why founders come to us
Help getting ready to hire
You want to have the basics in place to complete your first hires: contracts, policies, etc.. You want them to feel welcoming to employees and start things off on the right foot.
Help ensuring compliance
Employment Standards legislation varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We’re Canadian. We’ve built policy manuals for companies in several provinces and we know people in the states that do this too. Got questions about what’s allowed? We know the answer or where to find it.
Help create a great culture from day one
You can’t control culture, but some degree of social engineering is possible. It comes down to key decisions you make in early stages. Be clear about values. Create programs and plans that incentivize the desired behaviour. We’ve done this before.
