HR AUDIT CASE STUDY: Nonprofit

Project Case Study: Human Resource Audit for a Nonprofit Client

THE CLIENT

Million Meal Movement is a non-profit charitable organization that assembles and supplies meals for needy families throughout the state of Indiana. The organization provides individuals and businesses the opportunity to either sponsor or participate in packaging meals, which are then provided to local area food banks for distribution to the needy and food insecure. Since 2007, they have packed over 29 million meals. The business is small but has designs to grow. At the time of the analysis, there were (4) full-time regular employees plus a Board of Directors consisting of (7) business professionals from various industries and backgrounds, most of whom are small to medium-size business leaders or executives.

“The WR2 process was very effective and so were the tools that BEST was able to employ in such a short period of time. We gained immediate value and not only lowered our HR risk, but now have a growth-oriented strategic plan for our future.”
– Dan Hintz Co-Founder & Chairman
