CJ Pierson, Vice President of Human Resources Training & Development
President of H.R.P.C. - Human Resources Performance Consulting

With 30+ years of working in the Human Resource arena CJ brings a much needed focus to human asset acquisition, training, retention, and management of records.  HR compliance issues are constantly changing.  It is not possible for most small to mid size companies to afford an HR Department in order to stay abreast of all of the government demands nor is it affordable. CJ not only provides this service to ASI but offers an affordable-organized approach to clientele dealing with employee issues, training, policies, and file retention on a consulting basis.
