Membership Benefit: Keep Employees Engaged in Uncertain Times

The annual Employee Engagement Survey by HEC, included with membership, identifies strengths, challenges, and key areas for improvement.

Why HEC?

With decades of service to Hawaii, we empower Hawaii employers with workforce solutions tailored to Hawaii's unique business environment, helping you navigate compliance, employee relations, and stay competitive.

What our members say

“If Hale Makua Health Services had to pay separately for consultants, attorneys, trainers, analysts, and paralegals to provide all the services we now received combined from the Council, it would easily cost four times more than our annual HEC membership dues. The return on investment is easily four to one.”
--Ted Tucker, Hale Makua Health Services
