Compliance

 

We have developed a customized concept that takes the form of a true 360 Evaluation of your company. This is built based on your business sector, the workforce that forms your team, the size of your company, your needs, your challenges, your reality, and your projects over a five-year or ten-year projection.

Our service offering is divided into two parts:

Part 1: Labor Conditions and Employment Advisory
