Practical HR Solutions for Small Businesses & Non-Profits

Does your people strategy align with your organization's goals?

We'll work collaboratively to develop people strategies that support your objectives, foster your mission and values, and set you up for success.

Get senior-level HR help without the senior-level overhead.

Most small businesses can't justify a full-time HR hire — but they still need one. I step in as much or as little as you need: policy work, hiring support, performance systems, compliance checks, or just a steady hand when something tricky comes up. No long-term contract required.

Your handbook should protect you, not just sit in a drawer.

Outdated or generic handbooks leave gaps exactly where you need coverage. I write clear, current policies that match how your business actually operates, so you're protected and your team knows what to expect.

Handle sensitive situations fairly and in accordance with the law.

When complaints arise, you need an objective, professional investigation that protects both employees and your business. My expertise in conflict resolution, employee relations, and crisis management can help you navigate these critical challenges.

The first 90 days decide whether your new hire becomes a long-term player or a quick exit.

A strong offer letter doesn't make someone feel like they belong. I help you build onboarding that actually sets people up to succeed — clear expectations, the right introductions, and a plan for those critical first few months.

Turn annual reviews from dreaded paperwork into retention tools.

Help your managers give feedback that motivates rather than deflates. I'll help you build performance systems that are fair, consistent, and actually improve performance. 

Make sure you're paying fairly — and can prove it.sensitive situations fairly and in accordance with the law.

Inconsistent or unclear pay practices create risk and resentment. I help you build defensible pay structures, benchmark against market data, and catch equity issues before they become legal ones.

You can't fix what you don't understand.

High turnover is expensive and demoralizing—but it's rarely random. I help you identify the real reasons people leave through customized climate surveys, exit analysis, and honest conversation. Then we build a retention strategy around what your data actually shows, not just gut instinct.

Remember, one bad hire costs 30% of annual salary. That's $18K in risk for a $60K employee. 

Your managers are making $50K+ hiring decisions with little to no training. I teach them to identify A-players, ask better questions, sell your opportunity effectively, and avoid costly legal pitfalls. I offer this program as a workshop or in 1:1 coaching sessions.
