Purciarele Group - HR Simplified

  “We’re the Best HR Firm in the World”—Said No One Who Actually Cares About People. Let’s get one thing straight: At Purciarele Group, we don’t believe in claiming the title of “best.” Why? Because real HR isn’t about ego. It’s not about awards or slick slogans or who can throw together the flashiest handbook template. It’s about you. HR is about people—your people, your challenges, your growth, and your goals. And that’s not something that can be mass-produced or pre-packaged. Every organization is different. Every team dynamic is unique. And every business needs something a little different to truly thrive. So no, we’re not here to declare ourselves “the best in the world.” We’re here to do something better: be the HR partner you actually need. It’s Not About Us—It’s About You A five-person nonprofit startup needs something completely different than a 30-employee trades company entering its second decade. That’s why Purciarele Group doesn’t offer cookie-cutter HR. We offe...

  Honoring Memorial Day with Intention: A Message from Purciarele Group At Purciarele Group, we believe Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or a chance to fire up the grill. It is a solemn day of remembrance—set aside to honor and reflect on the lives of those who paid the ultimate price while serving in the U.S. military. For us, it's not about cookouts or sales. It's about sacrifice. A Brief History Memorial Day originated as Decoration Day in the aftermath of the Civil War. Citizens across the country decorated the graves of fallen soldiers as a way to grieve, honor, and show gratitude. In 1971, it became a federal holiday—dedicated to commemorating all American service members who died in military conflict. It is a day rooted in loss, but also in unity, respect, and reflection. Why It Still Matters As HR professionals and business owners, we have the opportunity—and responsibility—to acknowledge that some of our employees carry this loss personally. They may be: ...
