Plastics Manufacturing
Location: USA & Ontario
Project: Executing employment contracts for existing employees, employee manual
As a US company with a manufacturing operation in Ontario, we engaged ConnectsUs HR to build a comprehensive Canadian employee manual and develop employment agreements for new hires, along with individualized contracts for every existing Ontario employee. Each agreement required different clauses based on role and work conditions.
ConnectsUs managed the entire initiative from start to finish and took the time to understand our business and workforce. The result was a set of customized, accurate documents rather than a cookie cutter product. They took a complex project off our hands and treated it as if it were their own. We now have a clear and compliant HR foundation for our Canadian team.
The team demonstrated exceptional responsiveness, deep expertise, and meticulous attention to detail. Their commitment to our project's success was evident, confirming their status as true professionals. We offer our highest recommendation.

MULTI-PLASTICS INC., Ohio, USA
Cleaning & Restoration Services
Location: B.C., Canada
Project: Employee manual & HR software implementation
We had been wanting to automate the HR component of our business for a couple of years now. We came to ConnectsUs HR with an extensive library of policies and document-based HR processes and saw an opportunity to modernize and streamline them through HR automation. They helped us make that transition by optimizing our HR materials including updating and consolidating our policies into a comprehensive, professional, and compliant employee handbook, incorporating additional policies to complete our framework.
ConnectsUs also configured our HR software, recommended workflow automation, and managed the move from manual HR. Their hands-on collaboration and training made a real difference, and the recruitment-hiring-onboarding automation has already delivered clear ROI. Our staff love it!
The ConnectsUs HR team was incredible. Their combination of HR and technology expertise was invaluable. They were responsive, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, genuinely invested in our success...complete professionals. Highly recommend!

Communication Systems
Location: Alberta
Project: Executing employment contracts for existing employees, employee manual, ongoing support
As a small business with little HR experience, we needed to implement some HR basics. ConnectsUs HR delivered! They built our employee manual, provided contract templates for new hires, and created individual agreements for our existing employees. They even drafted the emails for signatures so all we had to do was press send!
What stood out most was their patience, expert guidance, fair pricing, and ability to deliver on time. Now all of our staff have signed agreements and signed off on the manual. We feel protected, confident we’re doing the right thing, and have a reliable expert to turn to for our ongoing HR support. Highly recommend.

Tableware Design & Manufacturing
Location: USA / BC / Ontario
Project: Employee manual
As a global business with corporate headquarters in the US, ConnectsUs helped us navigate cross-border HR with expertise and practical guidance. They delivered a comprehensive Employee Manual that covered multiple Canadian provinces in 6 weeks, with seamless communication and competitive pricing, ensuring the Manual was accurate, comprehensive, and aligned with our business needs. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend them to any US company expanding into Canada.

Specialty Technical Services
Location: B.C.
Project: Executing employment contracts for existing employees, employee manual
After years of struggling to build our company policy manual and employee job descriptions, we turned to ConnectsUs HR to help push it across the line. In a very short time, they developed a comprehensive, customized employee manual, executed employment contracts for our existing employees, and set us up with templates and guidance so we can handle things properly on our own going forward.
The knowledge and experience that ConnectsUs HR provided was invaluable. They kept the project moving, did the heavy lifting, and got it across the finish line. They took the time to understand our business, paid close attention to detail, and ensured the final documents were accurate and compliant.
As a small business, we don't have an HR department, and It’s reassuring to know that we now have HR in place that’s as solid and compliant as what much larger companies have. We feel well-prepared and confident moving forward. Highly recommend.

Project: Fractional HR services
We worked with ConnectsUs for over 3 years to set up HR for our office and field workers until we sold the business. They supported us with strategic and operational HR and ensured the company was protected and compliant, which was especially valuable during the sale.

Not-for-Profit
Location: B.C.
Project: Fractional HR services
We originally hired ConnectsUs HR part-time for 3 months to set up our HR and provide transactional HR services for approximately 50 employees. The HR Advisor remained with us for 2 years! And eventually helped us find a full-time HR Manager.
Our assigned advisor had a seat at the senior management table and was skilled at having the tough conversations with us when required and understood how to balance the needs of employees with those of the business.
We had a great experience and highly recommend.
