Dedicated to Your Confidentiality

As we embark on the path toward servicing you and your employees, it is critical that we understand your organizational goals, key initiatives, business challenges and barriers to success. We appreciate that these are highly guarded and private topics within any organization. We pledge ourselves to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality in dealing with your organization and the information you reveal to us.

Why We Specialize in California

The United States has a myriad of employment laws that demand high levels of knowledge and compliance from employers and California is far and away the most complex state in which to do business. This is why we choose California as our specialty and we have made the necessary investments to put the best people, processes and programs together to serve our clients in California.

In the words of President John F. Kennedy “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills…” We choose California HR for the same reason.

Our Team

YPP Company Leadership

California employers need a team of professionals with many different specialties to operate their businesses. The HR Component of the team requires individuals with experience in dealing with personnel, recruiting, benefit administration, workers’ compensation, payroll processing, and others. The challenge is that the cost of maintaining full-time staff in all these professions is prohibitively expensive and outside the resources of most businesses. When properly deployed within a business, the Your People Professionals team becomes the HR component of your operational management, maximizing organizational performance.

Below you will find the biographical information of the key members of our HR team. These individuals will work with and direct other staff as needed to provide services.
