The Business Protection Scorecard is a focused assessment of your company's exposure in the areas that create the most liability: employee relations, wage and hour compliance, leave of absence management, and leadership practices. You'll walk away knowing exactly where your risks are, what needs attention first, and what it could cost you if nothing changes. It's a straightforward way to see where you stand and no commitment required beyond the assessment itself.
The Foundation
Once you know your risks, Foundation gives you ongoing support to address them. This is day-to-day HR guidance when you need it; help with terminations, discipline, leave questions, compliance concerns, and the everyday decisions that can quietly create liability.
You get a trusted resource to call before you make a move, not after.
It's protection without the overhead of a full-time HR hire.
