Fractional HR Leadership
ORGANIZATIONS
Most growing organizations don't need more HR.
They need the right HR at the right time.
If you're a business owner or lead HR for a small to medium-sized organization, I'm guessing you're stuck postponing projects that exceed your capacity. Yet the business demands more. (Oh, the irony that Human Resources is short on resources!)
No long-winded consultants, please. You want rolled up sleeves and metaphorically dirty hands.
Ongoing Partnership
A fractional HR leader functions as a senior HR partner without the cost of a full-time executive: a sounding board for people-related decisions, help prioritizing what's actually urgent versus what can wait, and support on organizational design and growth planning as the business changes.

ER & Tricky Investigations
You could handle complaints all day, but do you want to?
- Have a HR Business Partner out on a leave of absence?
- Need a sensitive investigation handled by an outsider? I'll get the facts with the least noise, keep you and counsel informed, then have detailed timelines and statements ready for review. All without legal fees.
- Give me your handbook, tell me with whom the buck stops, then forward your phone.

Bringing years of experience performing HR audits on behalf of in-house labor and employment counsel.
- Need a peek at your I-9 and E-Verify practices?
- Managers need compliance tools to recognize when to involve HR? (Think FMLA or ADA cues.)
- Need to confirm that employees' actual work being performed matches your job descriptions?
- Are your California Meal and Rest Break policies actually being followed? Let's triple-check!
Policy Drafting

Who wants to write policies? Yes, please.
- Share your objectives, the multiple states in which you operate, and the known considerations, then you'll receive a tight draft ready to vet with your legal counsel.
- Now you go ahead on to happy hour.

Let's hear your employee experience dreams.
- Does your dusty onboarding process need a lift?
- Do your exit or stay interviews need a makeover?
- Need someone neutral to delicately facilitate focus groups after an employee survey?
Job Descriptions
AI can do this for you, but AI doesn't know what your people actually DO all day. Building consensus among disagreeing SMEs takes time from your “real” work.
Hand it over!
- JDs old as dirt or read like an endless task list?
- Not sure whether they align with the duties any longer?
- Adding new roles for which there aren't a JD?
- Need an extra hand with your job architecture project?
