What Our Members Are Saying
Hawaiian Cool Water, LLC
Coffee Systems Hawaii
Michael and Alix Hernandez-Soria - Managing Members
"HEC has the resources and knowledge to respond quickly, with high-quality advice, and always with our best interests in mind. There’s never a question of financial incentive driving their actions or advice.
As a small and rapidly growing business, it is so important for us to have an experienced, trusted partner that really knows the ins and outs of HR in Hawaii.
When we tripled our business with the purchase of Coffee Systems Hawaii in December 2018, we had to integrate the teams, and make sure the two company cultures blended together well. HEC helped us by drafting a new employee handbook, specific to our circumstances and were there for us with all the employee on-boarding issues that we faced with acquiring a company larger than ourselves.
We didn’t consider all the complications to having a statewide presence. From working through setting employee travel policies to the issues specific to having employees and independent contractors on neighbor islands that work from home, HEC has also been helpful with understanding how we should think about compensation, benefits and company policies.
They are an invaluable partner. Starting and growing a business in Hawaii is hard, but our HEC membership means someone’s always got our back.
The value of what we receive for what we pay is extraordinary. HEC advice has saved us thousands of dollars on lawyers and consultants. They are always there to talk things through with us, to bounce ideas around, or just to guide us in the intricacies and nuances of hiring and firing. They are there for us every step of the way, and always highly competent and knowledgeable. They are invaluable!"
