About Us

Trusted HR partner for 30 years

At Melita, we take a high-integrity approach to building relationships with our clients and partners. In a world where quantity seems to be more important than quality, and reputations are based on marketing rather than results, we pride ourselves earning and keeping our client’s trust over our 30 year history.

Our Why

Because we do not have outside investors, we are not burdened with demands of fast growth or higher profit margins.  And we don’t have an “exit strategy”. Our unifying purpose is to help our clients create special places of work that allow their employees to grow and achieve their goals, to feel appreciated, and to feel proud of what they do and where they do it.

Bigger isn't better. Better is better.

In the services industry it’s very difficult to focus on both growth and quality.  That’s why all of our goals and objectives are focused on qualitative rather than quantitative achievements.  We believe that if we continue to deliver high quality services at a competitive price, growth and profit will result.

The origin of our company name

Melita is the ancient name of the tiny Southern European island country of Malta. Although it’s one of the smallest countries in the world, Malta has an extremely rich and storied history of perseverance, determination, and a fierce resolve to protect the freedom and values of their people.

Although the island is tiny in stature (about 30% smaller than the city of San Jose, CA), it is a historical giant, with evidence of civilizations dating back to 4,000 B.C. and a succession of rulers including the Romans, Moors, Knights of Saint John, Spanish, French and British. The successful defense of their island over the powerful armies of Hitler during WWII, and the dominant Ottoman Empire during the Great Siege of 1565 in which 6,100 Maltese fought off the massive Turkish armada of 40,000 invaders, are among the epic David vs. Goliath victories throughout history. In short, Malta is a small giant.

Like Malta, we are resolved to stand by our values, and make a big mark on the world, without losing the qualities that make us special and unique. We recognize that bigger isn’t better, but that better is better. So growth is not our business strategy because it is often the enemy of excellence. Growth instead should be the byproduct of excellence, and we aspire to achieve excellence in everything we do. Therefore, it is with great pride and honor that we at Melita choose to follow the path of our historically significant namesake, to be a small giant in the world of HR, Benefits & Payroll!
