Our team has worked with
Here's the problem with similar service providers.
Their support is expensive, reactive, delivered by novice reps, and is a cookie-cutter "one size fits all" approach.
That's why Valens is different.
“As a smaller company, we couldn't afford traditional human resource services that charged us for every minute we spoke with them. We couldn't believe the flexibility that Valens offered our business and can't recommend it enough!”
Armaan Gupta, CEO, Kreative
Unhappy employees reach out to lawyers and unions for help. Smart employers hire Valens.

HR Legal Compliance
One legal claim by an employee can cost upwards of $250,000. Failure to maintain legal compliance opens up (not only the business but its management team personally as well), to governmental fines and penalties and employment litigation. Compliance is not a 1-time occurrence; it’s ongoing. We ensure business and personal assets are not at risk by constantly monitoring changes in the law to keep you compliant.

It’s absolutely critical to have fully-engaged team members to deliver world-class experiences and operate effectively. We identify your employee needs and goals, and develop clearly-defined roles and responsibilities, so you hire and retain the right people who give you a competitive advantage. We also identify issues that must be addressed BEFORE employees even consider bringing a union into your workplace (which can increase your administrative costs alone, on average, by 35%).
