I was fortunate to be able to attend the Understanding Your People Style at Work and Beyond workshop with 2 of my colleagues. This workshop was informative, interactive and eye opening! Not only did I learn about myself and my communication style, I learned about my coworkers that were present and their communication styles. I am looking forward to being more observant of those around me and adjust my style to be a communicator!

Christine and I reviewed my Predictive Index and I found her insights invaluable. Most importantly, I was glad to see that my skills and capabilities aligned perfectly with my current role. Further, where I had questions, Christine was able to provide clarity in terms of how the Index can be interpreted and utilized for my unique purposes. Christine's fluency with this process was evident and I found our conversation so productive. I would recommend that anyone who is hiring take advantage of this unique tool, along with Christine's interpretation and guidance, to best match candidates with open positions.

My experience with Compass has been exceptional. I engaged Compass Workforce Solutions in 2017 and expected compliance and advice to understand my obligations as an employer of over 50 employees operating in New York City. The surprise was the quality of support we received with employee relations, communication skills training, management coaching, implementing a new time and attendance system and guidance on new benefit programs including Parental Leave and the recommendation to fund this leave by enhancing our short-term disability benefits and adding long-term disability benefits. The diverse skill set of my Compass team has been a tremendous resource to me and my managers. This support allowed the Barasch & McGarry leadership team to focus our efforts on key initiates including ensuring the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund was fully funded and permanently extended for 70 years. I am a huge fan of Compass!

Compass provided Sexual Harassment Training to our staff and managers. The training was well crafted and the instructors made the topic more interesting than expected. Highly recommend Christine and her team (Jane Tucker) to train. Will continue to partner with Compass on future work.

We recently hired Compass to lead two state-mandatory sexual harassment training sessions - one for partners and one for employees. Jane Tucker led both sessions and did a very good, professional job in presenting the material and answering questions. I can't say anyone in the office was looking forward to the sessions, but both groups took something positive out of them. One of the partners came in the next day and said "Please tell Jane that I thought she did a great job." I would highly recommend Compass, and Jane in particular, for anyone that needs to do this training.

Christine and her team have been extremely helpful with everything from creating and adapting our handbook to in person team building exercises. Her recommendations and insights have proven to be helpful especially for a smaller business with no in house HR.

Compass Workforce Solutions helped create our first Employee Handbook last summer which has transformed our business. Last month they conducted on-site Sexual Harassment training for our management team. We found the training to be very effective and actually quite enjoyable. Highly recommend this team of friendly professionals!

Christine and Compass Workforce are my go to HR experts. Not only are they HR experts they are trust worthy consultants. She does not try to "sell" me on stuff I do not need or scare me with fears about regulations, she gives me the tools my unique business needs to function in a professional and productive manner. I highly recommend her and Compass.
