Okay…the name is a little hokey.  I admit it.  In fact, Higher Authority H.R. Consulting, is a little hokey too.  But there is a point to it all.  As Christians we should aim higher because we do answer to a “Higher Authority”   It may sound cutsey, but it is also completely TRUE!

Churches, ministries and Christian business leaders should not use ignorance as an excuse for failing to uphold the very highest ethical and moral standards in all their business dealings–particularly as they relate to areas of employee relations and regulatory compliance.  We should be leading the way in doing what is right–not bringing up the rear! 

I recognize that limited resources–in the form of both time and money–often hinder churches and ministries from being aware of, and then implementing, sound human resources practices.  In fact, helping to find a solution to that is what this blog is all about.  In the weeks ahead I hope to supply you with some relevant tips, tools, and info on HR trends–particularly as they relate to employment practices and compliance issues relevant to churches and other Christian employers.

So stay tuned…together we can aim higher.
