You don't need a full HR department. You need the right support.
Most small businesses don't have an HR team — they have an owner, a manager, or an office admin who inherited HR by default. That works until it doesn't. When turnover climbs, a complaint lands on your desk, or you realize your best people have no clear path forward, that's when it matters.
JPAV Consulting works with small businesses and nonprofits to build the people infrastructure that keeps teams functioning, cultures healthy, and leaders out of legal hot water. No retainers required to get started. No corporate jargon. Just practical support from someone who's seen these problems before.
Strategy, compliance, and people operations
Whether you need help building your first handbook, navigating a difficult employee situation, or creating a performance review process that actually works — this is where we start. Services range from one-off projects to ongoing fractional support.
Career transition support for departing employees
When a reduction in force is unavoidable, how you handle the exit matters. JPAV offers professional outplacement support to help your departing team members land on their feet: resume writing, interview coaching, and career direction coaching.

Whether you've got a specific problem or just a general sense that something isn't working, a 30-minute call is usually enough to figure out what kind of support makes sense.
