Hello
As a dedicated HR professional, I specialize in providing tailored HR solutions to small businesses and startups. With expertise in recruitment, employee relations, and HR strategy, I am committed to supporting the immediate needs of your business with an eye towards its long term growth and success.
Let's work together to build happy, high performing teams and a strong and thriving workplace culture.
Areas Of Engagement
Every company, no matter their size, should benefit from the leadership of an experienced HR and Talent professional. It’s never too early to lay the foundation for a thriving company culture and employee experience. From creating robust recruiting strategies and new employee onboarding processes to developing people operations that will take companies from 10 team members to 200, people programming is paramount.
Building and retaining high performing teams propelled by a strong sense of belonging is something I am passionate about. Through a fractional engagement we can evaluate your current people programming and practices and create a roadmap for growth while remaining lean and agile during these early stages.
It’s important to not only attract top talent, but to create a hiring plan that matches your company’s projected growth while setting the tone for a memorable employee experience. It starts with running a thoughtful and efficient recruiting process and a supportive new employee journey. We can review your current recruiting strategy and establish programs to help welcome and integrate new team members quickly.
Establishing your organization’s compensation philosophy and benefits offerings can be daunting. First step is to perform an analysis of current market trends, develop compensation bands to provide equitable and consistent comp practices and establish regular compensation review cycles. This is best coupled with an early stage framework for leveling and development.
Instilling systems to ensure your team is engaged, happy and thriving can not happen soon enough. This could include creating employee resource groups, regularly surveying the team and establishing cadence and guidance for effective 1:1s. Here, the right tech stack can also be key.
Company culture will grow and develop organically one way or another, for good or for bad. There are many ways leadership can keep a pulse on and develop a thriving, positive company culture. Finding ways to celebrate milestones and recognize the ways your values are showing up in the work of your team members are just a few examples.
Creating a culture of continuous feedback will set you on course towards consistently high performing teams. This often comes from a system of regular check-ins, growth plans and annual performance reviews as well as guiding principles around accountability, transparency and feedback. I bring templates and existing workflows to clients so no need to recreate the wheel.
Employees are happier and more likely to stay when they feel leaders care about their growth and development. A simple internal, manager led program can set the course towards a more robust Learning & Development program later.
Every state has different HR labor laws and market trends are ever changing. For dispersed teams with a presence across many locations, this can be particularly time consuming to manage. It requires staying informed about local regulations, ensuring compliance with federal and state standards, and potentially partnering with HR compliance professionals, especially when operating in multiple states. I can guide you towards compliance in all areas.
In the day of remote work, bringing dispersed teams together to connect, collaborate and foster company culture can go a long way towards work satisfaction and productivity. Offsites are playing a crucial role in not only pulling teams together but in providing opportunities for innovative breakthroughs and problem solving. For startups it can feel risky to take valuable time away but with the right focus the reward will be a renewed sense of belonging, trusting teams and purpose driven productivity. I bring many years of corporate event planning to create memorable events, offsites and retreats.
