Another California county signed: San Luis Obispo

New partnership: San Luis Obispo County, where classification demand has outpaced staff capacity. Holly's here to help.

We're excited to announce our partnership with the County of San Luis Obispo, California. This collaboration reflects our commitment to helping public agencies modernize their HR infrastructure to meet today's demands.

Across counties, the need for classification and compensation support has outpaced staff capacity. The work is getting more complex and more urgent, while collective bargaining, budgeting cycles, and recruitment and retention pressures all hinge on classifications that haven't always kept pace with changing roles. That's the context for our work with San Luis Obispo: enabling teams to deliver efficiency without sacrificing rigor.

"As the demand for classification and compensation analysis at the County continues to grow, it far exceeds our staff's capacity," said Mark Zeltmann, Deputy HR Director.

"We believe Holly will enable our team to complete classification and compensation projects significantly more efficiently, while maintaining — or improving — the accuracy and thoroughness of our analyses."

Located on California's Central Coast, San Luis Obispo County serves a diverse community across urban, coastal, and rural areas. Mark also highlighted something we care deeply about:

"It is a highly compelling solution, and the Holly team has demonstrated a clear commitment to partnering with us to further develop and refine their platform."

We're grateful for the County of San Luis Obispo's trust and for the opportunity to build sustainable solutions with a team focused on serving their workforce and community.
