HR Solutions

HR Retainer

Ongoing, retained HR support tailored to your business.

We take a holistic view of your people and practices, helping you build a healthy, compliant, and well-supported workforce. Retainers are flexible and designed to fit your business, your team, and your stage of growth.

HR Assessment

Understand what’s working, what’s missing, and where risk may exist.

An HR Assessment is a comprehensive review of your people practices, policies, and processes to ensure they align with compliance requirements, best practices, and the needs of your business.

Engagement Assessment

Clear insight into what your employees need and where to focus next.

Do you sense engagement is slipping or turnover is increasing, but aren’t sure why? We use targeted surveys to understand what employees value, what’s missing, and where to focus to improve engagement.

Employee Handbook

Handbooks done right - compliant, customized and off your to-do list.

We create customized employee handbooks built on proven frameworks and tailored to your business, workforce, and industry. Every handbook is thoughtfully customized to ensure it reflects your policies, your culture, and how your company actually operates.

First Hire Package

Helping you hire your first employee the right way - from the start.

Hiring your first employee is a big step—and often where risk begins. This package puts the right HR infrastructure in place from the start.

Project Support

An experienced HR hand to step in when you need extra support.

Not every HR need requires ongoing support. Sometimes leaders just need an experienced HR partner to step in, help move a specific initiative forward, and then step back out.
