I have been working with ServantHr since September 2017 and have experienced a phenomenal work environment! The employees are very friendly and the company is very flexible and understanding when it comes to you as the individual. They have your best interest in mind both from the standpoint of the employee as well as a client. ServantHr is a business that is not driven by the profit bottom line.

Servant HR – Christ Based?



On ServantHR’s web page there is a section titled “The Truth”. They claim Jesus Christ is their model; really? Let me tell you a story and you decide if they are truly a “faith based company” or if that is just a marketing ploy for a company that is actually using legal, but immoral business practices, in the pursuit of the almighty dollar?



My wife had a good job with a good company in downtown Indianapolis, but wanted something closer to home and so she applied for a benefits coordinator position with ServanHR in Fishers, Indiana. Michael Yoder and the other executives at ServantHR made the job sound very attractive with flexible work hours, the ability to work at home, and big item for my wife was the religious basis for the business. Her role, as she was told to was take over the benefits administration and to spear head a new service they were going to provide, so she quit her good job downtown and went to work for ServantHR.



Things went south pretty quickly for my wife at ServantHR. As a benefits company it was the time of year for benefits open enrollment, if you’re not familiar with benefits this is their busiest time of year, real crunch time and ServantHR had no one except my wife to prepare all of the benefits packages for thirteen different companies; administrative work she was not above doing but not using the skill set she thought she was hired to do. She worked long hours, typically twelve to fifteen hours a day, seven days a week to get this job done, and she did get it done. Not only were the hours long, but she was being driven by an under qualified HR consultant who was supposed to be providing training and support, but it fact relied on stress and intimidation to accomplish ever changing goals and deadlines (this person’s only qualification appears to be having worked with children). My wife is a hard worker with an incredible work ethic; she carried on and got the job done fully believing that the hard work, long hours and stress would pay off in the long run.



Interesting enough, after crunch time and the packets are all out Mr. Yoder called her in and told her the other programs they had planned to initiate had not been approved and so they could no longer afford to keep her. Another interesting facet; prior to taking the job my wife discussed the position with a friend, also in benefits, and she told the friend about the plan to initiate the new programs; the friend warned my wife that those plans would not come to fruition because the plan would never be approved; my wife chose to believe the folks at ServantHR (after all this is a Christian based company).



It is my opinion that ServantHR found themselves in a very difficult situation; they had to get all of the annual enrollment period work done and had no one to do it, so they hired my wife solely for the purpose of getting this work done with the full knowledge that when the work was done there would not be a position for my wife.



Servant HR did write my wife a letter of recommendation raving about her work and work ethic and offered their prayers (we pray for them as well).

It is my opinion that ServantHR is an immoral organization that puts dollars ahead (way ahead) of moral or Christian values. This is as despicable a business practice as I have ever personally witnessed. Additionally, in my opinion, they violated federal law regarding exempt employees by treating my wife as an exempt employee when the bulk of her work was more administrative in nature, but by treating her as exempt they did not have to pay her overtime. Also of interest, on their website Servant HR still shows my wife as an employee; using her background and skills as a part of their marketing program.
