Meet the Founder
25 years of corporate HR — now built for Main Street.
Derek Worth spent 25 years inside corporate HR and Operations — the level of HR expertise most small businesses can never afford to hire.
As a Regional HR Director for a major national retailer, he led human resources strategy across dozens of locations and thousands of associates in multiple states, owning talent acquisition, organizational design, and performance management. His work measurably reduced critical vacancies and voluntary turnover through engagement strategies built on hard data, not guesswork.
In his Associate and Employee Relations roles, Derek handled the situations most owners dread — disciplinary decisions, terminations, and high-stakes labor matters — serving as primary liaison for EEOC, DOL, and NLRB cases, including direct leadership of union organizing campaigns and NLRB election strategy. He co-developed the predictive models and dashboards that moved his HR function from reactive case management to preventive, data-driven strategy.
He built ReadyDocs HR to close a gap he saw for years: large companies have airtight documentation, clear processes, and senior HR expertise protecting them, while the restaurant down the street or the shop across town is left with a free template and a prayer. Every ReadyDocs document is built against the same federal and Texas compliance framework a Texas employment attorney works from — the Texas Guidebook for Employers 2024, EEOC guidance, FLSA, and the Texas Payday Law — and written in plain language so a busy owner knows exactly how to use it.
The result is simple: Fortune 50 quality, at a Main Street business price.
