Corban’s support has allowed Lori and her team to handle everything from compliance and payroll to high-stakes employee relations—without having to staff a large internal department. When conflict arises, she no longer feels isolated or uncertain. Instead, she has trusted experts just a phone call away. “Everyone at the store is emotional about it, and I’m frustrated, but I don’t have to be the expert. That’s where I find Corban most helpful.” This long-term relationship has become a rare thing in today’s HR landscape—reliable, personal, and unwavering. “We’ve been together longer than most married people. I get calls all the time from other companies wanting our business… I’ve never felt the need to entertain any of them.”

Conclusion

For Lori, the Corban partnership has been instrumental not only to her company’s operational success but to her personal growth as a leader. She credits Corban’s team with giving her the confidence, knowledge, and backing to manage even the most complex HR challenges with clarity and calm. “I feel like everything I’ve done here has meant something—and part of that is because of your team.”

How Corban One Source Became an Indispensable HR Partner for a Team of One

Client: Angela, Vice President of Human Resources
Company Size: 236 Employees
Solution: HR Outsourcing + Multi-Platform Support

When Angela stepped into her role as VP of HR, she was leading a lean team—just herself and one part-time support person. Managing HR operations for 236 employees required not only robust systems, but also a highly responsive partner that could fill in the gaps with reliable, human-centered support. She had worked with large providers in the past but found their scale often came at the cost of service. “I’ve worked with companies that are much larger… but now that I’m in a team of one and a half, I really, really needed someone who could handhold me through that support.”

Angela partnered with Corban One Source in 2023, seeking a blend of technological sophistication and attentive service. What she found exceeded expectations. “It’s been glorious… I get the best of both worlds. I’m getting all the technology—but I’m getting all the service, which I very desperately needed and appreciate through Corban.” Corban didn’t just provide a platform; they offered a consistent team that knew Angela, her company, and their data inside and out. “When I call with an issue, I am talking to the same set of people every time. Your team knows me. Your team knows the data. That part is already taken care of.”

Angela now enjoys what she calls a true partnership—an extension of her internal team that provides hands-on support, continuity, and even platform flexibility. If she ever wanted to change HR systems, Corban would still have her back.

“Your team supports multiple platforms… There’s a versatility and a unique quality of not being so large that you don’t know each other.”

And the most surprising win? She’s getting all of this enhanced service—without a price increase.

“I’m not paying more for this service than I was with arguably one of the most expensive operations out there. I’m getting the exact same thing with better service. There’s no way you can compete with that.”

Conclusion

For Angela, Corban One Source offered a rare combination: enterprise-grade tools with small-team intimacy and consistency. In an environment where HR demands are high and time is limited, Corban became her indispensable support system—without the big-corp cost or coldness.

“I truly feel like it’s just an extension of my team.”

Though they thought they were receiving the overall value they needed, the PEO was unwilling to give them an exact breakdown of what they were being charged. They rated this PEO’s customer service as good and liked the “all-in-one” bill, but could not identify whether or not the true value was there.
