"Making it's fifth appearance on our list is The Astra Group, which manages human resources for small to mid-sized businesses. Shane Jones, CEO, created The Astra Group in 1999 with a founding philosophy that smaller businesses would be best served by outsourcing human resources. As he saw it, that professionals at The Astra Group, fully versed in rules an regulations, could manage a company's paperwork and procedures more cost effectively than a company could itself. This arrangement proved to decrease turnover and strengthen the existing workforce for clients.
