The Cost and Complexity of Compliance

For small and mid-size federal contractors, the cost and complexity of compliance can be overwhelming. According to the Small Business Administration, businesses with fewer than 500 employees spend an average of $5,000 per employee each year on regulation, paperwork, and compliance. At the same time, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has reported a 24% increase in complaint filings over the past decade—highlighting the growing risk of employment-related lawsuits and costly damage awards.

Why HR Expertise Matters

Even the most well-run companies are not immune. That is why, to meet this challenge, C2 Essentials dedicates maintains a team of highly trained HR professionals capable of responding to conflicts in the workplace as they arise.
