Client Advisory Board: At a Glance

The Client Advisory Board (CAB), now in its fifth year, is made up of 8-12 selected and approved thought leaders to help GovDocs define future deliverables in helping customers simplify the multilayered challenges of employment law compliance for large enterprise (multi-location) companies.

We regularly come together to share meaningful insights and best practices with each other to shape not only GovDocs’ solutions, but the future growth of the employment law compliance industry.

—Director, Employee Relations

“Just a quick note to once again thank you for inviting me to be part of the CAB! It was a fantastic meeting – we all got to know our peer companies better, learned more about all of you, realized we all have some pain points that are the same, and are no longer fried cheese curds novices!”
