The engagement

Three steps from uncertainty to a company that runs like a machine.

  1. Step 01

    HR Assessment

    A deep dive into your organization to assess HR needs. You receive a detailed, outlined plan of action to reduce liabilities and ensure compliance.

  2. Step 02

    HR Implementation

    With the assessment in hand, the action items get done—by your team, by ours, or a mix. Your call.

  3. Step 03

    HR Management

    When you have employees, you have problems. Handling them legally and ethically, day to day, is what keeps people and the organization healthy.

What is a certified HR consultant?

The most effective businesses have a plan to manage their human assets.

“A players” like accountability. They thrive where policies and procedures are documented—making you more profitable and productive.

Your people are your biggest asset. They are also your biggest liability, and they represent your largest operating expense. Yet the management of people—the single thing with the greatest effect on growth—is what most owners neglect.

Managing human assets well takes sound systems, policies, and procedures behind talent and change management, performance, training, compensation, hiring and firing, and protection from lawsuits. In large companies that is the job of a Certified Human Resources Professional.

The problem is cost. An experienced certified HR professional earns six figures—and would be bored silly serving a business under about $10 million alone. So we outsource the role instead.

Your assigned fractional Certified HR Consultant begins with an HR Assessment, identifying the internal policies, outside policies, and operational procedures most critical to your company running smoothly and profitably.

From there, a customized plan is prescribed using our proprietary process: documenting and implementing professional-quality policies and procedures so the business runs predictably and stays compliant. Each month you review the work completed, choose the next item on the punch list, and get practical coaching on making it stick.
