Turner HR Services has been a valued asset for Whatcom County. Kara was instrumental in the recruitment and hiring of our Public Works Director, has been a respected trainer for our Certified Public Official program, and has volunteered on the County Elected Official Salary Commission.  I find Kara to be fair, efficient, and knowledgeable.

Kara has been an integral part of the success of Emergency Reporting by helping to build and sustain a great working environment through HR training as well as professional guidance through sensitive matters.

Emergency Reporting

As hard as it was to accept that a tiny company like mine needs a 50+ page employee manual, it has earned its worth several times over.  When in doubt, we go to the handbook and get a definitive answer and this happens a lot more than I would have ever thought.  It takes all the pressure off of me, the owner, from having to make on the spot subjective policy decisions.  Every business should have one!
