PSL Consulting (formerly Powers Straker) provides a full range of human resources and related consulting services to educational institutions and other non-profit organizations. We develop customized solutions that are aligned with organizational culture and address the specific goals of each individual client.

Each consulting assignment is handled by results oriented principal consultants from the beginning to the end of a project. Our principals have extensive experience as managers, consultants and higher education administrators. Our recommendations are based not just on theories and expert knowledge of compensation, benefits and human resource issues, but also on a foundation of relevant experience that helps us achieve organizational goals cost effectively.

Our long list of satisfied higher education and other non-profit clients range from small liberal arts colleges, large research universities and community hospitals. We excel in controlling total compensation costs while allowing our client’s to remain highly competitive in recruiting and retaining qualified employees. Quality and cost effectiveness are our trademarks and we are known for establishing credibility with staff and faculty groups through our collaborative approach.

In the employee benefits consulting area we offer independent impartial advice and put our clients’ interests first. We do not act as a broker and do not represent insurance companies to sell their products. We do not accept commissions or any compensation from insurance carriers for employee benefits plans we aggressively negotiate (but may if instructed to do so by the client). We help our clients control spiraling health care costs through creative plan design, detailed analysis of claims costs and utilization trends, and development of alternative funding strategies.

Through our strategic partnership with RPM Health we have the ability to deliver customized healthcare solutions designed to yield the best return on health benefits dollars. RPM Health focuses exclusively on health care and has successfully worked with Fortune 500 companies, state agencies and public retirement systems to develop innovative ways to proactively manage healthcare costs. When it comes to tackling health care issues, PSL & RPM are committed to producing measurable results.
