"Human Resources isn't a thing we do,
it's the thing that runs our business."
-Steve Wynne
Just starting out or in need of basic structure?
For new businesses, there can be a lot to learn, from legal hiring practices to establishing an employee handbook and understanding why it is essential to protect your business. For existing business owners, we can audit current practices to see where gaps need to be filled or provide guidance on new laws and how to incorporate them into your current policies and procedures.
Need help with employee concerns?
Whether you are looking for help to resolve an employee complaint or want to develop a performance management process to keep your employees on track and growing, we'd love to help you out. People are multifaceted, and many things can impact their behavior. We always consider the whole person and the impact of the environment and relationships when working to resolve challenges or motivate individuals; we'd love to share more about this perspective with you.
Wondering how to make all the pieces work together?
In a workplace, each decision impacts another; it is essential to understand the big picture and how to ensure each piece is helping the overall workplace culture to help things run smoothly. Strategic HR reduces employee relations concerns and ensures less disruption to the business and customers. We can help with looking at culture development, change management, or solving complex people problems that are unique to your business.
An HR consultant supports the employee side of your business--as much or as little as you need. For small organizations, a consultant can fill the gap before you need a full-time HR professional, or support an existing team when more complex issues arise.
Companies partner with an HR consultant for two main reasons: First, to access expert guidance in compliance, employee relations, and strategic HR. Second, to save time and avoid the steep learning curve of navigating employment law alone. A good consultant answers questions quickly, provides practical advice, and helps reduce legal risks — often saving you the cost and stress of heavier legal involvement later.
That's great! I often work alongside internal HR staff, admin teams, or leadership groups. I can provide higher-level expertise, help with complex situations, or simply offer extra support when your team needs it. Think of me as an extension to your team, here when you need a trusted partner.
Surprisingly, none! It’s smart to engage HR support even before hiring your first employee. Many employment laws apply the moment you post a job or make a hiring decision — and they vary by state, county, and city. A consultant can help you stay compliant from the start and set a strong foundation as you grow.
No. While I do ask clients to sign a general consulting agreement before work begins, it simply outlines the nature of our working relationship, logistics, and basic protections for both sides. It does not bind you to a long-term commitment--and it never will. I believe clients should stick with me because they want to, not because they have to.
I offer flexible payment options designed to fit your needs. Most clients choose hourly billing so they pay only for the work they actually need--no unnecessary services or hidden fees. This keeps things fair, balanced, and gives you full control over your costs. If you prefer, we can also discuss retainer arrangements or project-based pricing. I'm always open to finding the right fit for you.
Working with small businesses, I understand the concern of keeping costs low. A consultant will do as much or as little as you'd like and will offer suggestions to help meet your budget. In many cases this means more collaboration between the business and the consultant with the consultant providing more instruction rather than finished products.
