Our Clients
“I am the managing partner of a small law firm that does not have a separate HR person. Up until hiring The Burman Group, I served as the HR manager which made it precarious if employees had an issue with either me or the other lawyers in the office. Our employees needed an objective and trusted outside HR representative to go to for both advice and to simply have a listening ear if they had questions or concerns.
I needed someone that understood our unique organizational structure and had the knowledge and experience to strike the delicate balance between serving our employees while also protecting the business and giving me frank and sound advice. Marilyn was exactly that person. From the moment we initially engaged The Burman Group, Marilyn listened to my concerns, provided thoughtful and well-reasoned advice, and developed the right strategy to serve our employees on a go forward program that they appreciated and utilized. She also gave me the tools and know how to ensure we were in compliance and maintained the level of professionalism and consideration we strived for in our office. I highly recommend Marilyn and The Burman Group and look forward to our continued partnership.”

“As an HR professional with more than 25 years’ experience in Human Resources and Employee Relations, I have spent many years conducting workplace investigations related to harassment, discrimination and retaliation at multiple Fortune 500 organizations across many industries. I recently attended a session of anti-harassment training presented by The Burman Group. I found the session to be thorough, informative and effective. The facilitator was excellent and presented the material in an engaging manner with real life examples that made it relatable and easy to understand. Questions were answered and, without exception, the participants left with a practical understanding of the expectations for workplace conduct. I highly recommend this training for employees and managers alike and look forward to further offerings from The Burman Group.”
