What Our Members Say

Pulama Lanai

Kurt Matsumoto

President 

Hawaii Employers Council has been a great partner for Pulama Lana‘i, as well as more than 800 other organizations in Hawaii. We rely on them for expert advice on a variety of employee-relations issues, such as labor and employment law updates, union negotiations, training and development programs, and survey and research information. HEC’s staff is fast, accessible and knowledgeable and we trust them so much that we consider them to be an extension of our own team.
