Functionality Chart
Clarity Hearing Solutions is a small, family owned and operated Company that grew faster than even our own expectations. The growth brought increased levels of staffing and a need for more business structure.
Bringing Focus HR on board has enabled us to not only build the structure we required but allowed us to do this in a way that did not intimidate or upset our existing employees. Management is constantly learning through the mentoring from Naomi, with senior management feeling more confident in their HR interactions.
