Real partner experience

Crescent is a human capital management technology provider that, in 2020, founded Empact HR. This new division of Crescent was created to meet the growing demands of small and midsize businesses that needed scaled or fractional HR support. Empact HR now has some of the industry’s top HR professionals and has become a top-trusted business and service provider in the HR space.

While some partners seem to provide the same breadth of products and services, Empact HR found out quickly that not all partnerships have the same quality of products, services, or relationships. Empact HR’s previous provider remained surface-level and basic, which might fit the bill for a time. When Empact HR was ready to take on larger and more sophisticated clients, it knew it would need a provider to check all the boxes and become an integral part of its business and a champion for its brand.

Between the training and HR partner solutions it provides, Empact HR has been able to:

  • Enhance its user experience through an industry-leading LMS system.
  • Generate almost $100,000 in new business in 8 months.
  • Launch an entirely new product line to its clients.

“The reason why I moved from [competitor], why my needs evolved to BLR’s HR Hero, is because we needed not only to outsource the generation basic forms, templates, transactional HR support and so on, but we also needed to outsource, in a single resource, all of the education needed to advise our clients.” —Philip Carrillo, Director of HR Services, Empact

HR proof is in the pudding

The power of reselling training can’t be underestimated. It empowers your business to provide the best training services, elevate your reputation as an industry expert, and unlock new revenue streams that drive remarkable growth. By partnering with leading training providers, you position your business for unparalleled success in a competitive market.
