The Malone Chamber of Commerce in Upstate New York selected Total HR Management as the Business of the Year. On November 14 at a local ceremony, Cana Tighe, the Director of the New York Service Center for Total HR Management, received the prize with a smile from the Malone Chamber of Commerce. Based in Southern California and New York, Total HR Management opened the Malone office in 2006. Cana Tighe’s brother James Harwood is the CEO of Total HR Management. As a native of Malone, James Harwood values maintaining family and business ties to the community.

As a human resources management company and a professional employer organization (PEO), Total HR Management works with small to mid-sized businesses. The services of the Total HR team allow business owners to focus on their business rather than being buried in the administrative and employee related tasks of their business.

Since 2006, Cana Tighe has been able to add thirteen additional team members to the Malone office. The recognition by the Malone Chamber of Commerce is a testament to a dedicated team. A reflection of the character of that team, the Total HR Gives Back Program has allowed the company to help charitable organizations. The efforts of the program include fund raising events for cancer, diabetes, school music departments, the local Malone backpack program, food drives, interviewing skills for at-risk youth, animal shelter support and toys for tots donations.

At the awards ceremony, Cana Tighe expressed gratitude in her acceptance speech: “Thanks to our local director Hugh Hill, Total HR continues to be invited to local meetings to help the community. Most recently, we started participating on the Steering Committee for Economic Development for Franklin County. We are proud to be among the many successful small businesses in Malone and truly honored to be chosen as the 2014 Business of the Year.”

Ready to maintain the track record that led to the award, the staff at Total HR’s New York office will continue to evolve its full array of services. By providing reliable HR services to our clients while giving back to the community, Total HR Management balances the work of the business with an ongoing effort to make the Total HR Gives Back Program both effective and rewarding.
