How can I help?

Time. People. Expertise. Budget. Even when managed expertly, your internal resources are often not enough to get the work done. I provide clients with immediate HR capacity and expertise to move projects forward, strategize and coach, and complete the day-to-day work they just can’t get to.

Some clients call when they need immediate help on a specific project, like preparing compensation comparisons, coaching a manager through a difficult performance issue, or conducting an independent workplace investigation.

Other clients retain me on an ongoing basis as their go-to HR business partner. In that role I provide day-to-day advice and hands-on help as it’s needed, from creating job structures to helping onboard employees.

Whether hired on a project basis or retained over the longer term, I work hard to be immediately accessible and provide the additional capacity and expertise you need right away.
