At People First Inc, we’ve been helping businesses navigate the ever-evolving world of HR Consulting for 25 years—and we’ve learned a thing or two about what truly matters: People, clarity, and processes that actually make sense.

August is known for sunshine, back-to-school buzz, and… sneaky zucchini drops? That’s right—August 8th is Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day, and if that doesn’t sum up summer shenanigans, we don’t know what does.
