Ast Human Resources Solutions

These guys are great. I manage a business with 35 employees in California, and Jean, my HR person, has helped me through a lot. It is really hard to manage people in California, but the whole Ast team is certified in HR AND they know California laws, so Jean and her co-workers are always able to help me out of a jam. We have successfully terminated several employees, faught unemployment (and won!), improved morale, changed our policies, and more. I never realized I needed HR, I honestly don't know how I lived so long without them.

Ive been working with Ast Human Resources for about a year at this point. Im on their advanced package. Ive been in business for 7 years, but I had never put any kind of focus on management. I figure, I pay them to work, so they should just do a good job. Well, I was really wrong. Since working with Ast HR, I have increased staff retention a lot. Heather helped me track my turnover, it was 150% the year before I joined, now it is less than 50%. Still not great, but way better, especially in the current employment market. Heather went through everything I was and wasnt doing with my team, and created a focus calendar for me. This was really helpful, because I was able to work on one thing at a time, instead of trying to do everything at once. There have been a few times when I have missed a deadline, but Heather never makes me feel bad about it, we just adjust expectations. She sends me gentle reminders and helps move me along. Best of all, I feel I have a partner who is truly interested in helping me build my business. This alone has been invaluable and worth much more than the monthly membership fee I pay. If you are a small business, you dont have to do this alone. Heather and her team will help you. They are kind, helpful, and really want to help make your business more successful by learning to love HR, and your team.

I've had the pleasure of working with several of the folks at Ast. Every time, they answer my questions quickly. I ran a couple of their answers by my attorney, and she said their advice is legally sound. I'm on their hotline, and I never have to wait more than a few hours at the most to get an answer. Great company, great concept.

I've been working with Ast HR for about a year now. Heather, my HR expert, is amazing. She has helped guide me through some insane issues with my employees (I own a retail shop), and has prevented me from making some bad decisions. Heather is always available really quickly, I usually hear back from her within an hour. She has never made me feel dumb, even though I ask what I think are some dumb questions. I would strongly recommend signing with them, they are a lifesaver.
