City of Purcell

The City of Purcell needed a trusted partner to help fill a gap within our Human Resources department. We were looking for experienced professionals who could provide guidance, expertise, and support in areas where we needed additional resources and specialized knowledge. Karsten Group quickly became that trusted partner.

Since partnering with Karsten Group, we have seen significant improvements in several key areas. Their team has helped address outdated policies, conducted pay studies, and assisted with union negotiations. Karsten Group has also provided the resources and expertise needed to evaluate and improve many aspects of our organization, including employee benefits, compensation structures, job title evaluations, and job description updates. Their guidance has helped us make informed decisions that will benefit the city well into the future.

One of the most significant projects was the completion of a comprehensive wage analysis. The study allowed us to identify employees whose compensation was below market standards, and we were able to make plans to bring those employees up to competitive market rates. This had a meaningful impact on those employees and contributed to improved morale across the organization. Overall, we feel better equipped to support our workforce and organizational goals.

The service and support provided by Karsten Group has been outstanding. Their staff is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping us succeed. I cannot say enough positive things about the professionalism and dedication of their team. What I value most about this partnership is the people. The Karsten Group team genuinely cares about their clients and consistently goes above and beyond to get the job done. Whatever resources are needed to complete a project successfully, they are willing to provide them.

We initially engaged Karsten Group on a six-month trial basis, and the value they provided led us to commit to a long-term partnership. Their expertise and support have exceeded our expectations. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work alongside each member of the Karsten Group team. Their support and commitment have helped the City of Purcell and our employees thrive, and we look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.
