Dr. Sylvia Domotor, an accomplished veterinarian and the founder of the hospital, describes the benefits of working with Total HR and why she would recommend the PEO Solutions of Total HR to your company.

DR. SYLVIA DOMOTOR —
Over the years, with a hospital of five veterinarians and 40 odd employees, the administrative problems just became too much for non-professional people to handle. I could tell that we were not doing things right. We had to reinvent the wheel every time a situation came up. In addition, we were spending too much money calling an HR person who was our phone consultant, but she simply was not invested in the hospital. This faceless HR person was just answering each question as it came up. It became very obvious that although we excelled at veterinarian medicine, we simply could not handle our own human resources very well. It was so very nice to be able to hand over these problems to a professional organization that understood us.

I have come to so appreciate the capabilities of Total HR; their focus on helping us with things like training the receptionists and working out our staffing problems. I thought they were going to be strictly payroll and benefits and insurance. It was very nice that Total HR was actually concerned about the specific issues facing our business. Total HR helped us; they were present when problems arose with our staff. It is so much more than just the logistics of human resources.

It is a pleasure not to have that extra worry on my shoulders and on the shoulders of my managers. Total HR helped make us OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliant, and it is a tremendous relief that OSHA could walk in at any time and I would feel comfortable about how my hospital stands. Veterinary medicine is full of stories of people that got zonked by OSHA and had such huge fines levied against them that they had to close their doors. It’s so nice to know that such a thing will never happen to us.

I would say to anybody in business that is considering working with Total HR, just do it. If you have a business and you’re good at your business, then concentrate on being good at your business and leave the HR management to a professional who specializes in that part of the business.

The peace of mind is so worth it, it’s definitely worth it! Plus, and this is a big bonus too, Total HR has saved me money. They have been able to reduce my rates for my healthcare for my employees, for my workers’ comp, for numerous other things. With Total HR, you save money and you get the freedom to focus on your work.

Yes, the freedom to focus on your work is the essence of what Total HR provides to a company, allowing administrative headaches to become PEO solutions. Like Dr. Domotor’s Animal House, Total HR can provide a successful outcome for your company, allowing the challenges of today’s economic climate to become the positive outcomes of tomorrow.
