The Story Behind Our Name
Tricia Worden, Owner
Learn More
There is a common misconception that HR is inherently bad, that HR professionals do not care about the employees, and are not friendly or approachable. This makes it hard for employees to see the value in HR.
As a HR professional, I believe there is a way to strike a balance between protecting the company and being a valuable resource to the employees.
That is why my company was named Next Generation HR Solutions. Our services are designed to provide solutions that mitigate risks and promote growth for the business, while implementing policies and procedures that promote positive employment practices.
We are the Next Generation of Human Resources
Our Services
Recruiting & Hiring
Hiring new talent is a critical function for any business – hire the right talent and they will help you succeed; hire the wrong person and they will drain your bottom line.


Benefits Management
One way businesses attract and retain top talent is by offering benefits. What your organization provides depends on the budget available, the size of your company, and what your employees value most.
Handbooks
The most common and widely recognized way to communicate an organization’s policies and procedures is through a company handbook.


HR Management
A workforce is the heart of any business. For a business to be successful, it requires a coherent and consistent approach to managing its employees.
