Risk Management Expert Reveals Insider's Secrets That Save Companies like Yours Millions of Dollars in Fines and Penalties while Protecting and Growing the Bottom-Line!

Dear Friend:

Have you ever fantasized about going to work without having to manage any people? We all have! I'm sure you would agree that managing people is one of the toughest jobs there is. A job made ever more complex because of today's confusing employment laws and the difficulty in attracting and retaining great employees.

Having been in the trenches for 30 years consulting employers on HR, Benefits Risk Mangement matters, I can tell you from experience that most companies don't get serious about building a powerful HR department until after getting clobbered on the head with a destructive employee claim or after losing some of their best employees to the competition.

Is that what are you waiting for? How much did your last employee claim cost? How much did your last bad hire cost? How much did it cost to lose a good employee? What price do you pay suffering from endless employee dramas? How much is lost productivity costing you?

You Lose Even If You Win!

Take a simple case of one employee who was fired for poor performance after only three months of employment and wanted $1,000,000 just to settle the case!

Despite exposing a series of blatant lies, the jury awarded him all of $20,000 - and that was after his attorney spent more than two years and $100,000 preparing the case for trial. He received the $20,000 because the company used a poorly drafted letter of intent. To everyone's surprise, the juror's invoked a 30-day warning notice in the document which was never even signed by the plaintiff!

Despite the fact that the employer "won" that case, they still had to pay their attorney over $80,000 in legal fees to try the case, and then it went on appeal where they "won" again after paying an additional $20,000 in legal fees and $20,000 to satisfy the final judgment.

What few employees and managers understand is this: my client had to raise an additional $400,000 in net revenue to cover the $120,000 outlay caused by the filing of the lawsuit. Now that hurts!!

Not only are these lawsuits expensive, the costs associated with defending against them are immediate. There is no amortizing this expenditure. If you're like most employers and don't have insurance coverage, you're picking up the entire defense. If the case goes to trial, and you end up losing (as 67% of employers do), then odds are you're looking at a verdict that nationwide averages more than $250,000, with 15% having punitive damages claims of over $1,000,000. Just think how much new revenue you'll have to generate to absorb those figures!

The reason I point out this sad reality is not to scare you but rather to educate you. The first step in the risk management equation is to understand the risk. Regardless of your size or operations, unless you are willing to risk considerable time, money and aggravation managing poor employee performance or defending against the filing of unnecessary claims, there is no escaping the need for our unique and powerful workforce management technology called HR That Works!

Stephanie Burnside,

"I want to take a minute to let you know how helpful HR That Works has been. I recently returned from a 3-week vacation and when I returned, I had about 5 major legal issues to deal with and I REALLY needed some advice. I called the hotline and I could not believe how helpful Don Phin was. He went over and above what I would expect. I have called him in the past for some quick advice and he has ALWAYS been there for me. He not only listens to me and guides me in how to handle sticky HR situations, but explains things in such a straight forward way that I can understand. I actually don't know what I would have done without him being willing to talk to me. I remember calling him last year and he answered his phone at the airport and even when he was at Disney World on vacation, he stopped and helped.

So, Thank You for the services your company provides its clients. I greatly appreciate it."
