-
Implementing variable pay structures to support their unique revenue-sharing model
-
Developing comprehensive HR policies and handbooks aligned with organizational values
​
As the founder prepared to scale the organization and take their digital training nationwide, Let’s Build Hope needed trusted expertise to manage the complexities while protecting its commitment to excellence.
