Executive Director, Healthy Aging, Martha’s Vineyard, Edgartown, MA
“We began working with Tanya & Optimize HR when we were in the process of obtaining our 501(c)3. She was instrumental in helping us set up our organization so that we had a comprehensive handbook & all policies/procedures in place to be an “employer of choice”. She has been incredibly responsive in answering questions & providing advice on an ongoing basis, as we grow and change. Her understanding of the Vineyard culture and customs is a real plus. The service she provides is a great example of a successful “outsourcing HR” strategy for a small organization.”
