From our President
Thank you for visiting our website.
As an HR management professional for the last 30+ years, I understand the impact that a well-designed and managed HR function can have on a company. There are a myriad of HR functions that all employers must address, i.e., legal compliance, recruitment, selection, compensation, payroll, benefits, training, performance management, discipline and termination. At Carolina HR, we manage our client’s day-to-day payroll and benefits administration and we provide professional HR management support in all other areas of HR.
I founded Carolina HR in 2004 to provide employers with a cost-effective way to manage their Human Resource needs so that they could focus on the core aspects of their businesses. Based on feedback we have received from our clients and their continued loyalty over many years, I believe Carolina HR provides a valuable service. I hope you will give us the opportunity to learn more about your company’s HR needs so that we can show you how we can help you manage your HR responsibilities and liabilities.

We recently went through some significant changes requiring that we outsource our HR function. Carolina HR really stepped up and provided great service in a timely fashion. They are very knowledgeable about all aspects of HR and we feel very well represented with them on our side. Carolina HR has been a great resource!
After using CHRP for over 9 years, I have had only a wonderful professional relationship with their team. They meet my HR, accounting, and payroll needs on a daily basis. It truly is a pleasure to have such an outstanding team in support of my business.
Carolina HR functions as if they were directly on our team. Their quality of work, communication, and knowledge has always felt like an extension of our own company and not just a vendor. CHR provides us quality HR work and advice including staying up to date on all regulatory changes that we cannot focus on in our day to day business. While our team members are our most important asset, processing HR & Payroll is a distraction from our core business and CHR allows us to focus on what really matters.
For nearly a decade we’ve partnered with Carolina HR. They manage our payroll & benefits including advising and overseeing our onboarding, applicant tracking, insurance offerings, 401k, and COBRA.
In the last 10 years we have almost doubled to 60 restaurants and crossed state lines; CHR’s service and commitment to helping us navigate the HR landscape and ever changing government regulations hasn’t wavered. Our partnership is invaluable.
Not all businesses are large enough to justify a full time HR person. That was the case with us, so in 2016 we hired CHR to recruit employees and ramp up HR functions at our new manufacturing facility in Mills River, NC. Since then they have continued to add value by taking care of our Personnel, Payroll, and Benefits Administration.
I view Carolina HR Partners as my HR department. Treating them as my coworkers and partners in business, I rely on them for their advice, guidance, and professionalism. They sit in meetings with me, guide us through sticky situations, and assist with insurance and personnel selection. They are a tremendous asset to our company and much cheaper than hiring a top notch HR Department.
We used Carolina HR Partners during a time of tumultuous organizational change. They were invaluable in this situation, allowing us to focus on providing uninterrupted services to our clients while they handled all of out HR needs. Their provision of professional services and HR expertise ensured us that we made the right choice in for our HR partner.
Carolina HR Partners is a company we trust to help with our payroll and human resources needs. For a small organization such as ours, Carolina HR Partners fills an essential role for WNC Bridge Foundation, freeing up staff time so they can focus on other critical areas of their job.
For over ten years, Carolina HR has managed all our human resources needs including payroll administration, employee benefits and 401k. They are always quick to respond whenever we have changes arise, be it new hires or changes in benefits and/or regulations. CHR has been a vital resource for us throughout the pandemic as well, keeping our business abreast of new changes and requirements in this difficult time. No matter the issue, they always make it a top priority to keep our management and employees both informed and safe.
