HR Services
We wrap our services around you and your needs!
Fix the Friction: The Team Turnaround Experience
As a Certified Five Behaviors Practitioner, I teach teammates how to work together and move past dysfunction to become a highly productive and high-functioning team. I help teams learn five key behaviors: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results!
Who Is This Service For?
You’ve tried everything to get your team to gel, but instead, you’re met with passive-aggressive behavior, unspoken tension, a lack of accountability, and constant conflict. As Patrick Lencioni said, it’s not finance, strategy, or technology but teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage. This experience is more than a one-time event. This is best for leaders or owners ready to do the heavy lifting. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being wholly committed, how committed are you to turning the team around?
HR On-Demand
Gain access to HR support with my subscription service, which includes guidance on performance management, employee relations, and other people-related matters. You'll have monthly access to me directly, every time, with the option of 1 hour or 4 hours of dedicated support. Gain peace of mind knowing you have expert HR support whenever needed.
Who Is This Service For?
Our HR subscription service is perfect for businesses where HR is handled by the owner, finance team, or office manager or where there is no in-house HR expertise to manage people-related matters.
HR Audit
Regardless of your business's size, regulatory compliance is a reality you must recognize. That's where an HR Compliance Audit comes in. I’ll review your company's HR policies, documents, systems, and practices to help you identify strengths and address any gaps. This process not only minimizes risk but also boosts your overall efficiency.

Who Is This Service For?
An HR audit is ideal for businesses concerned about compliance issues or unsure of which areas need attention. It’s most effective when you're ready to act on the findings.
Workplace Mediation
As a certified mediator, I facilitate a voluntary and confidential process where I assist parties in a dispute to seek a mutually acceptable resolution. My role is to guide the conversation and help the parties explore their options so they can maintain a professional working relationship.
Who Is This Service For?
This service is ideal for employers who have exhausted internal efforts to resolve a workplace dispute or recognize that a neutral third party may be the best approach to preserve professional relationships and avoid escalating tensions.
Employer Launch Kit
I assist my clients in building their HR departments from the ground up, considering future growth plans. I analyze your business operations to establish essential HR systems and create HR-related processes and procedures, ensuring they build a solid foundation. I also handle all necessary registrations and compliance requirements to ensure your HR function runs efficiently.
Who Is This Service For?
Businesses that lack HR expertise need solid systems to ensure compliance and smooth operations. Whether you’re hiring your first employee and want a strong HR strategy or your team is growing and you need to establish a proper framework, I can help you build a solid HR foundation for future growth.
Additional HR Solutions
I offer additional services such as team-building retreats, employee handbooks, policy development, and training. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out!
