"Our partnership with Abstract HR for strategic planning was a game-changer for Kumon Fort Lauderdale Math and Reading. Led by their skilled consultant, Michael, we embarked on a journey that not only clarified our mission and vision but also helped to revitalize our approach to education and tutoring. Michael's facilitation skills were evident as he guided us through a series of engaging topics and exercises that uncovered new opportunities and addressed persistent challenges. Within a short timeframe, we emerged with a comprehensive strategic plan that has since helped to guide our growth and expansion efforts."

The interviewing process has a system which weeds out bad candidates and gets you what you need. Abstract HR is professional and reliable.

"Michael Anderson from Abstract HR demonstrated exceptional expertise in handling a highly sensitive sexual harassment investigation involving anonymous complainants at a partner agency where I once served in a leadership role. His adept use of business records to identify and encourage anonymous witnesses to come forward was instrumental in uncovering critical information. Michael's meticulous and strategic approach ensured a thorough and impartial investigation, leading to a fair and objective resolution of the incident. His professionalism and dedication in managing this complex case were truly outstanding. I highly recommend Michael for his unparalleled skill and effectiveness in investigating and responding to sexual harassment complaints."

Michael worked with my economic development team at the City of Fort Lauderdale in preparation of an upcoming Economic Development Strategic Action Plan. Through his facilitation and Leadership, we developed a mission statement and vision statement for the City’s Economic Development function. While I have led several SAP planning initiatives (award winning plans) I have never encountered a more efficient and effective facilitator. Under Michael’s leadership, we developed exceptional Mission and Vision Statements in two 1-hour Sessions – I have never seen it done faster. I highly recommend Michael for his quality of work and speedy results – a great price/value solution.”
