Ben Godsey, president and CEO of ProService Hawaii says creating a culture of collaboration and employee ownership has been key to the HR services provider's success. Long-term relationships are at the heart of the HR service provider's work with 2,500 employers and their 45,000 employees across the state. Godsey says ProService wants to be “in the bunker” with clients as professional advisors and supporters. “I really try to have the company focus on every single company, every single worksite employee that's employed by those companies, that that is an opportunity and a privilege for us to service them and for us to grow,” he says.
