HR Challenges Facing Congregations 

Caring for our employees is at the heart of our institutions. Yet, many congregations struggle to provide quality HR due to:  

  • Excessive time spent on administrative HR tasks without the training or education to effectively execute
  • Higher benefit cost, yet decrease in benefits coverage
  • Limited resources and expertise to offer a comprehensive HR program
  • Increased liability risk for professional staff and board members that Directors & Officers insurance may not cover 

How Does JHR Work?

In partnership with two global HR leaders, JHR fulfills your community's HR needs. With dedicated HR experts, you have “back office” that works with you to:

  • Delegate administrative tasks to a team of professionals
  • Access “Fortune 500-style” benefits
  • Plan for cost avoidance
  • Enhance employee well-being
  • Strengthen compliance to minimize risk

Our team members will help you align your organizational mission and values with HR best practices. Together, we can improve your workplace culture, build a strong team, and expand your community's impact.
