Redefining HR Departments to become strategic business partners.

This is where we begin in our partnership to leverage your human resources services into opportunities for growth and organizational excellence. 


Each organization has its own set of dynamics, challenges, and aspirations. That's why I take a personalized approach to HR consulting, working closely with you to understand your needs and develop strategies that not only solve immediate issues but also lay the foundation for sustainable success. 


The below information provides an overview of available services, ranging from strategic partnership in the overview and analysis of major systems, to strategic solutions designed to meet specialized needs within your larger HR functions. Let’s talk through your needs to create a tailored solution for your unique business goals and organizational culture. 

Full assessment of your HR functions

Let's take a look and see where there may be gaps or opportunities.

Sometimes an organization has a specific area where there may be some opportunity for growth or a need for specific updates to your HR functions. Other times you don't even know where you should start. I'm here to help. 


This is a service that's most effective for small businesses, organizations with an HR department of one, or for small healthcare organizations and community health centers. I'm able to partner with you to come in and do a full HR audit to assess both your strengths, as well as the areas where there are gaps that need to be addressed.


I'll partner with you to get a sense of your current state, and create an action plan to get you compliant and primed for sustainable future successes.
