“The Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells Water District has utilized Rick
Dacri’s services for nearly three years. During that time, what had
previously been challenging and time consuming human resource issues became
simplified and easily resolved. Rick has helped us with everything from
supervisory training and performance evaluations to disciplinary and
termination procedures. He has the unique ability to quickly get to an
underlying issue and find a simple, logical solution. Our retainer
arrangement with him has been especially beneficial, as any supervisor with
any HR question can call him whenever needed. He’s like having our own
in-house HR expert at a fraction of the cost. When considering our improved
productivity, morale and peace of mind, his services have cost us nothing;
in fact they helped improve our bottom line."
