The challenge: navigating multijurisdictional compliance
With employees across 12 U.S. states and Indonesia, Herb Pharm faced the complex challenge of managing diverse and evolving employment laws across multiple jurisdictions. HR compliance tasks like contract review, policy creation, and legal research were handled manually using a patchwork of resources including the SHRM website and outside counsel.
This decentralized, manual approach was time-consuming and expensive. Herb Pharm’s HR team wanted a centralized, efficient solution to streamline multijurisdictional compliance, reduce legal costs, and maintain accuracy across all regions. Above all, the HR team needed a solution that would save them time and allow them to prioritize more proactive initiatives to drive long-term goals.
The solution: using Gia for AI-powered, expert-backed guidance
When Katy Burris, Senior Director of Human Resources at Herb Pharm, received an invitation to try Gia, she was intrigued by the promise of one AI-powered compliance tool that could cover all HR topics across multiple jurisdictions. Gia quickly became an indispensable daily tool.
I was amazed at how easy Gia was to use and the range of information it could provide. It’s exciting to have one compliance tool for all HR topics.

The HR team now uses Gia to instantly create policies and research employment law. Gia’s jurisdiction comparison feature is especially valuable in helping the team decide whether to implement a single policy across all states or tailor policies to specific jurisdictions.
With access to a large library of legally vetted articles and government sources, Gia helps Herb Pharm stay compliant and current while respecting data privacy and security.
The impact: saving time, cutting costs, and enabling strategic HR work
Gia has been shown to cut compliance costs by up to 95%, and Herb Pharm has already saved 20+ hours of work and thousands in legal fees in just two months.
With Gia, we’ve cut compliance costs significantly. If I need to write a policy, I plug in the parameters and jurisdiction, and Gia creates it instantly. If I need to compare sick leave laws in 12 states, I type in the prompt and Gia returns a handy comparison chart.

Beyond time and cost savings, Gia has empowered the HR team to make confident decisions more quickly, reducing their reliance on expensive outside consultants. Additionally, Gia has identified potential legal issues Herb Pharm might have otherwise missed. This newfound efficiency and peace of mind allows the team to focus on strategic priorities, like improving employee engagement and retention.
Knowing that Gia’s guidance is based on expert-reviewed, legally vetted sources gives me peace of mind. It lets me spend less time on paperwork and more time on strategic initiatives.
