Does This Sound Like Your Business?

"I spend more time on HR issues than running my business"

You're writing job descriptions at midnight because you need to hire someone yesterday
Employee conflicts are eating up your day, and you're not sure how to handle them professionally
You're googling "how to terminate an employee legally" at 2 AM

"I know I need HR systems, but where do I even start?"

Your "employee handbook" is a two-page document you found online
Performance reviews happen whenever you remember (which isn't often)
You're not sure if your pay structure is competitive or compliant

"Good employees keep leaving, and I don't know why"

Exit interviews reveal issues you never saw coming
New hires seem great in interviews but struggle once they start
Your top performer just gave notice, and you're scrambling

If any of these scenarios hit home, you're not alone—and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

The Problem: "I've interviewed 15 people and none of them are right for the job"
Our Solution: We help you write job descriptions that attract the right candidates, develop interview processes that reveal true fit, and create onboarding systems that set new hires up for success
Real Example: A manufacturing client was losing 40% of new hires within 90 days. We redesigned their job descriptions and interview process, reducing early turnover to under 10%.

The Problem: "Two key employees can't work together, and it's affecting the whole team"
Our Solution: We provide structured conflict resolution, mediation services, and create communication frameworks that prevent issues from escalating
Real Example: A tech startup's co-founders were ready to fire their best developer due to personality conflicts. We facilitated resolution sessions and established clear communication protocols—six months later, the team is more productive than ever.

The Problem: "I got a letter from the Department of Labor, and I don't even know what I did wrong"
Our Solution: We audit your current practices, ensure you're compliant with federal and state regulations, and create systems to keep you protected
Real Example: A healthcare practice was facing potential fines for improper overtime calculations. We corrected their payroll processes and implemented tracking systems, saving them $25,000 in penalties.

The Problem: "I know someone isn't working out, but I don't have documentation to support a termination"
Our Solution: We create performance review processes, documentation systems, and improvement plans that protect your business while helping employees succeed
Real Example: A legal firm had never conducted formal performance reviews. We implemented a structured system that helped them identify and develop high performers while properly managing underperformers.
