Mollie takes the time to review and assess needs so she can provide tools and feedback personalized specifically for your organization.

Mollie has been a great asset to our young, non-profit organization. We feel more confident in our HR policies and procedures thanks to her expertise. Her personality and knowledge make her very comfortable and trustworthy to work with – I highly recommend her!

Training went great! There was a lot of interaction and I think all of us took something out of the training that we can apply to our everyday conversations. Mollie was very professional and did a good job with our casual nature.

MFS Consulting performed a market wage analysis and helped us develop an employee compensation plan to better support our growing staff. Mollie has been a source of knowledge and support during a precarious time of employee shortages and company growth. She has provided feedback and advice for multiple HR scenarios. I would recommend MFS Consulting to leaders looking for HR support in any industry!
