HR Services

Fractional HR Services

Your part-time HR department without the full-time cost.

Not every organization needs a full-time HR professional. But every organization needs HR done right. Fractional HR gives you consistent, strategic support on an ongoing basis — so you're never navigating compliance, employee issues, or policy questions alone.

What this looks like:

• Strategic HR guidance for leadership

• Employee relations support and manager coaching

• HR compliance monitoring and updates

• Recruiting support and onboarding process design

• Performance management oversight

• Policy development and handbook maintenance

• On-site availability within Northern Michigan counties

A note on scope of services: Fractional HR is strategic and advisory in nature. It is not payroll processing, full-service recruiting, or legal counsel — but I'll make sure you're connected to the right resources when those needs arise.

Pricing is based on your organization's size and needs. Complete the Intake Form to receive a custom quote.

HR Consulting & Coaching

Targeted support for specific challenges.

Sometimes you don't need ongoing HR support — you need focused help with one situation. Whether it's a manager who's struggling, a team dynamic that's off, or an HR question you're not sure how to handle, this is where we start.

What this looks like:

• Individual manager coaching (Session packages available)

• Group manager coaching for small teams

• One-off HR consulting for specific situations or questions

• Practical tools, frameworks, and guidance you can put to use right away

Project-Based Work

Defined scope. Clear deliverables. No ongoing commitment.

Have a specific HR project that needs to get done? I work on a project basis for organizations that need a defined deliverable without a long-term engagement.

Available projects include:

• Employee Handbook Creation or Update

• HR Compliance Audit

• Performance Management System Design

• Manager Training Program Development

• Job Description Creation

• Compensation Analysis

• Exit Interview Program Design

• Culture Assessment

• Workplace Investigations
