Testimonials

I really feel like we have grown a ton, and (Raylana) should get the credit for a lot of it. Every week I meet with my guys, and I feel like our culture is real and healthy. I hear stories of other companies with good people but terrible work environments, which we DON’T have here and hopefully never will. So THANKS again for the time you took in the past and continue to offer as a voice of experience to draw from when it comes to HR and managing people. I really appreciate it and use what I’ve learned every day!

Jimmy Huber | President | InfoTech Solutions & Services Inc.

With Raylana’s help, we have improved interviewing and selection practices; restructured our compensation programs; and documented payroll processing: a valuable variety of effective HR practices now a part of our continued business success. Raylana’s collaborative approach and ability to ask critical, sometimes difficult, questions have helped build our management team’s skills and confidence.
