HR Compliance Overhaul for a Retail Chain
Client: FashionForward Retail
The Challenge
A decentralized HR function across 12 states created significant compliance risks, with inconsistent policies for hiring, termination, and wage and hour laws.
The Solution
Conducted a comprehensive audit of all HR policies and practices against federal and state regulations. Developed a unified, compliant employee handbook and delivered mandatory training to over 150 managers.
Results & Impact
Eliminated 25+ identified compliance risks, standardized HR processes across all locations, and successfully passed a Department of Labor audit with zero violations, avoiding potential fines estimated at over $250,000.
