Fisher Phillips Joins Strategic HR Partners

Fisher Phillips has become a partner with Strategic HR Partners (SHRP). SHRP is a non-profit employer's association located in the Incubator Program in the Cunningham Center in Columbus, Georgia. The new organization is offering diversified HR services to mid- and small-sized companies. Fisher Phillips is the partner offering services in employment and labor law.

SHRP is holding a kickoff event on Thursday, August 30 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Cunningham Center at Columbus State University.

Member companies will be able to tap into resources that can review their company handbooks for legal compliance, assess their corporate culture and develop a plan for change, assist with writing job descriptions, performance evaluations, and affirmative action plans, develop compensation programs, conduct employee and customer opinion surveys, and much more. In addition, there's an HR Hotline that members can call to discuss HR issues, a CEO Roundtable, and a HR Roundtable where member companies can discuss best practices.

In addition to Fisher Phillips, several other companies will be offering a variety of services to employers. Membership cost to join the association varies, depending on the number of employees. Companies of any size may join.

"We are excited about filling a niche that has been lacking in our area," said Charles Little, President and CEO of SHRP. "For instance, there are a lot of mid- and small-sized companies that do not have human resource departments to keep them in compliance with state and federal laws. Our goal is to assist them. Those companies with Human Resource professionals can utilize our services in HR consultation, project management, outplacement, training and development, and professional certification."
