OUR APPROACH

How do we create real impact from day one?

The answer to us is clear. Offer a free HR Health Check, no strings attached.

This isn’t just a checklist. It’s a guided conversation where we walk through your people processes, from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between, to help you spot what’s working, what’s not, and where hidden risks or missed opportunities may be holding you back. At the end, we’ll deliver a clear, actionable report with insights and recommendations tailored to your organization. You’ll walk away with clarity on how to strengthen your HR foundation, reduce risk, and position your team for growth. It’s a practical, cost effective way to get expert eyes on your operations and uncover value you might be leaving on the table.

HR Services FAQs

How much does it cost?

We offer transparent pricing based on your team size and service tier. Start with a discovery call to learn more.

Do I need this if I’m under 50 employees?

Yes. HR issues don’t wait for team size milestones. In fact, building it right from the start saves you money and headaches later.

What if we already have an HR manager?

We can train and support your existing team or act as a strategic partner behind the scenes.

What if I only need help with one part of HR, like onboarding or compliance?

We offer “a la carte services” like handbook creation, compensation structure development, or onboarding process audits. We’ll customize our support to what you need most.

Do you offer help with benefits or insurance?

Yes. While we don’t broker benefits directly, we partner with providers to support your benefits strategy and operations.

We already have an HR system. Why would we need you?

Great tools are only helpful if they’re set up and used correctly. We bring both tools and strategy. We often uncover gaps or missed compliance steps even in organizations that already have systems in place.

Do you help with hiring or recruitment?

Yes. While we don’t act as a recruiter, we assist with job descriptions, role scoping, compensation planning, and hiring process best practices.
