HR Solutions At Work participated in the November 8, 2023 Multi-Chamber Expo run by the Waltham Chamber of Commerce. Nearly 100 vendors exhibited, representing a variety of local businesses that included restaurants, non-profit organizations, small family ventures, national banks, and more. The event had a huge turnout, with raffles, dance performances, free massages, and food samples from local restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream shops.

Representing HR Solutions At Work were (pictured above, left to right) Senior HR Consultant Jessica Toohey, Content and Communications Coordinator Jennifer London, and HR Administrator Merrilee Guarini. At our exhibitor booth, we answered questions about our company, gave out free pens and tote bags, and had a blast meeting the huge variety of companies interested in our services. We came away from the event energized and excited about attending more local events, learning about the wonderful businesses right in our backyard, and helping teams both large and small to find HR solutions to help their businesses grow.

A huge thank you to Waltham Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Molyna Richards for organizing the event and including us!

Happy anniversary to us! It has been ten years since Judy Kalisker founded the company, originally called Compliance Plus, to provide employment law advice and human resources consulting to employers. 

Over the years, a lot has changed. When we started, our focus was on workplace investigations and compliance-related training; now we provide a full panoply of HR services, from individual projects and investigations to fully outsourced HR. In recognition of how our work has evolved from primarily HR compliance to more of a solutions-oriented focus on a wide range of HR topics, we have rebranded as HR Solutions At Work. We are excited to keep expanding our business!

To celebrate our tenth anniversary, we have refreshed our website and will be posting updates on our business, new and evolving employment laws, and other topics affecting the workplace. (Click here to send us your questions about workplace issues to be addressed in future posts.)

We also had our first-ever in-person staff event. The photo above shows many of our team members wearing fleece jackets with our new logo. Pictured (from left to right) are Jodi Lockwood, Natalie Costello, Megan Simmons, Jessica Toohey, Liz Hendler, Judy Kalisker, Merrilee Guarini, Amy Serino, and Stephanie Chrisikos. Not pictured are Kelli Doré, Amy Hammes, Dinamary Horvath, Martin Kalisker, Jennifer London, and Jill Zender.

Over the course of two days, clients came and discussed how and why they worked with us, we learned about different segments of the HR industry, and we participated in a discussion about advanced investigation skills. We would like to thank Juanita Gonzalez, Chief of Staff for XRHealth, for explaining the company’s exciting new health care programs, which utilize their unique virtual reality technology, and detailing how our HR expertise helps expand their startup and manage their staff.

After the all-hands meeting, we hosted a reception at Bar Enza to celebrate our ten-year anniversary and acknowledge the clients and referral partners who have been integral to our success over the past decade. We were thrilled to be able to interact in person after more than three years of remote conversations.

We are so grateful to all of our clients and referral partners who we’ve worked with over the years and look forward to continuing to provide great service for many years to come!
