"I have worked with Mike Dobert, owner of HR in Alignment, LLC, since July 2011.  After interviewing four other recommended companies, Distribution International (DI) hired the “best of the best”, Mike Dobert, to help with our Human Resource needs.  Because we are a fast growing company without an HR Department, we needed help in accomplishing certain goals and stay within lawful compliance.  

Mike has over 25 years in HR and that expertise is what DI needs to move forward.  Mike developed our Employee Handbook, rewrote our HIPAA Plan, designed and will facilitate company-wide Harassment Training, developed written job descriptions and job performance appraisals, will review FLSA classifications and advise DI of proper classifications, has developed an Application for Employment and designed a New Hire Orientation program, heads DI’s monthly Affirmative Action Plan/Equal Employment Opportunity committee meetings and provides its quarterly reports,  provides daily consulting when needed and has been onsite at least one day a week per our agreement. 

Mike has always made himself available to DI when necessary and is just a phone call or email away to handle any problems that may arise and is very accommodating to our schedule.  I sincerely recommend Mike Dobert if you want the 'best of the best.'"

"I deeply appreciate the work you’ve done for my company and for my clients.  Your knowledge, experience, and expertise in the area of human resources are invaluable.

As owners of small to mid-size businesses we often lack the insight and the time necessary to make sure our HR processes are what they should be.  Your consulting and services have provided my clients and me with valuable guidance and tremendous peace of mind.

I want you to know that I encourage all of my business owner clients to meet with you to ensure that they not only have the appropriate employee handbooks, but also that they meet all of the compliance requirements for HR.  Your help and counsel around these issues and the strategic issues (such as talent acquisition, talent development, performance management, etc.) are enabling us to take our businesses and our teams to much higher levels of productivity and effectiveness.  Plus we are able to create work environments that are more positive and enjoyable.

Thank you very much for all you have done and for all you continue to do for us.  If anyone would like to talk to me regarding you or your work, please don’t hesitate to give them my contact information.  All the best to you as you continue to serve the small to mid-size business community."

"As a small business owner, you are expected to know everything about your business, but you have to admit that you are not an expert in all areas (and you shouldn’t have to be!). Human Resources is an area that I have little to no expertise. I have to say that I’m a little scared of HR issues as they can have legal ramifications. It’s an area where I can’t rely on myself to do it right as I don’t even know what the right way is. Mike has been a person that has given great guidance to me with things as small as advice on an employee issue up to creating an employee handbook with the correct and legal language is used. He has extensive knowledge and expertise in this area and has helped us make sure we are in compliance to avoid any future issues and help us protect our business. He is a great resource to have on your side, so you don’t have to think about these issues. He is conscious of small business limitations and can tailor services to your needs and budget. I really recommend working with Mike at HR in Alignment, LLC for any needs, concerns or questions you may have!"

With your guidance I have been able to structure my office in such a way that my employees are buying into my system. You have also taught me how to be strategic in my approach in handling potential issues that arise from day to day activities. One thing I am really excited about is the Employee Handbook. The Handbook allows me to stress to my employees my desires I have for my industry and how I want to run my business. It is a great feeling to know that with proper planning I no longer need to worry about the UNKNOWN. Thank you for your relentless dedication to my needs and my success as a business owner."

"As a new chamber president, I needed to update our Personnel Handbook and ensure that we were in compliance with all regulations. I turned to Mike Dobert for help and he had a draft proposal to me within days that we were able to implement immediately. To accomplish this myself would have taken much time and taken my focus away from other priorities. Mike is not only an expert in this area but is so easy to work with. I could not give a stronger endorsement for Mike."
