Expert HR consulting services for the policies, processes, and people issues that need sound, strategic advice.

Call us now

Expert support, right when you need it.

We offer HR consulting, so you can make better calls.

Some HR challenges are too important for a quick template, a rushed internal meeting, or “we’ll deal with it later.” We help Austin organizations work through policy updates, compliance concerns, employee relations, manager questions, and HR process problems with experienced HR consultants who understand both the legal details and the people’s side of the decision. Facing an HR challenge you could use a second opinion on?

Your HR challenge, solved.

Our strategic HR consulting services.

We work with leadership and HR teams on the decisions, documents, processes, and people issues that need senior HR thinking behind them.

HR Strategy & Advisory

Put structure behind people decisions.

When hiring, growth, restructuring, retention, or leadership changes start raising bigger HR questions, our HR consultants help your team sort through what needs to happen next.

  • Workforce Planning: Map hiring needs, role changes, team structure, and future staffing priorities before pressure builds.
  • People Priorities: Decide which HR issues need attention first across retention, performance, compliance, and team growth.
  • Change Support: Support restructures, leadership shifts, growth periods, and internal changes with experienced HR input.
Policy & Handbook Consulting

Replace vague policies with concrete guidance.

A handbook should help people make good decisions, not sit untouched until something goes wrong. We review, update, and create policies that reflect how your organisation works now.

  • Employee Handbooks: Update or create handbooks that match your workplace, expectations, and legal requirements.
  • Workplace Policies: Build policies for leave, conduct, remote work, attendance, performance, and employee standards.
  • Manager Guides: Give managers notes for applying policies fairly across teams.
HR Compliance Reviews

Spot the risk hiding in routine HR work.

We review the HR details that can create risk if they’re handled inconsistently, including classifications, leave, accommodations, employee files, and documentation tied to FLSA, FMLA, ADA, and other workplace requirements.

  • Policy Review: Check existing policies for gaps, outdated language, unclear procedures, and compliance concerns.
  • Document Review: Assess onboarding files, employee records, leave paperwork, and separation documents.
  • Risk List: Give leadership a prioritized view of the HR compliance issues worth addressing first.
Employee Relations Consulting

Get outside HR thinking on sensitive people issues.

Employee relations issues can get complicated quickly, especially when performance, conflict, behavior, or manager history is involved. We help leaders look at the facts, consider the risks, document the process, and decide on the right next step.

  • Manager Support: Guide managers through performance concerns, conduct issues, conflict, and difficult conversations.
  • Situation Review: Review employee concerns and recommend fair next steps based on the facts.
  • Documentation Support: Create stronger records, timelines, summaries, and follow-up notes when issues arise.
HR Process Improvement

Clean up the HR steps everyone keeps working around.

If onboarding lives in five places, performance reviews change by department, or approvals get stuck with the same person every time, your HR process needs attention. We review how work moves through the business and recommend a better system.

  • Onboarding Fixes: Improve new-hire steps, documents, handoffs, manager tasks, and first-week communication.
  • Performance Process: Review goals, feedback steps, review cycles, and manager follow-through across teams.
  • Workflow Clean-Up: Reduce repeated admin, unclear approvals, duplicated steps, and any process bottlenecks.
HRIS & HR Operations Consulting

Make your HRIS fit the way your team works.

Your HRIS should support the way your team works. If the system is underused, badly set up, or creating more admin than it solves, we help review your options, map better workflows, and plan changes around your real HR needs.

  • System Selection: Compare HRIS options based on team size, budget, reporting needs, and future growth.
  • Implementation Planning: Map workflows, data, permissions, timelines, and training before launch.
  • System Review: Review how your current HRIS handles employee data, reporting, workflows, and daily HR tasks.
Manager & Leadership HR Guidance

Give managers a better way to handle people issues.

Managers are often the first to hear about performance problems, employee complaints, leave questions, or team tension. Our leadership development services help leaders understand what to say, what to document, when to escalate, and how to handle issues consistently.

  • HR Basics for Managers: Help managers understand policies, documentation, employee conversations, and escalation steps.
  • Performance Guidance: Support managers with executive coaching, accountability conversations, feedback, follow-up, and performance notes.
  • Decision Support: Give leaders HR input before people decisions create risk, confusion, or team fallout.

Your HR consulting questions, answered.

Here’s what business leaders often ask us before bringing in an HR consultant. If you don’t see your question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here to help!

An HR consultant helps with the HR work your team either doesn’t have time for, doesn’t deal with every day, or wants another opinion on before making a call.

That could be reviewing a handbook, looking at a compliance concern, helping with an employee issue, sorting out a process that keeps causing headaches, supporting managers, or giving input on HR systems. The work depends on what’s happening in your business and where you need support.

HR consulting is usually for a specific project, question, review, or issue. Fractional HR is more like ongoing part-time HR support.

For example, consulting could cover a handbook review, HRIS planning, employee relations advice, or a compliance check. Fractional HR might make more sense if you need one of our expert HR consultants involved every week or month across your wider HR function.

 

We help with HR strategy, handbook and policy reviews, compliance checks, employee relations, manager guidance, HR process reviews, HRIS consulting, and HR operations support.

Some companies come to us with one clear project or challenge they need solved. Others know something isn’t working, but they’re not sure where the real issue sits yet. We can help you look at what’s happening and work out what needs attention first.

HR consulting is a good option when your team needs senior HR input for a defined piece of work, but you’re not looking for ongoing HR coverage.

Maybe you need help reviewing policies, checking compliance risk, supporting managers, improving a process, planning an HRIS change, or handling an employee issue with the right process behind it. In those cases, a consultant can give your team the extra experience and structure needed to deal with the issue properly.

If you need someone involved every week across your wider HR function, our fractional HR services may be the better fit for your organization.

No. We work with companies in Austin, across Texas, and throughout the United States.

If you’re based in Austin, we can support you locally, virtually, or with a combination of both. Some HR consulting work is easy to handle through calls and shared documents. Other work may be more efficient onsite, especially when we’re working closely with leadership or managers.

Of course! A lot of companies bring us in because their HR team is capable, but busy.

We can help with projects that keep getting pushed back, sensitive issues that need another opinion, process reviews, manager support, or senior-level HR input. We’re not coming in to replace your team, only to give them extra support where it’s needed.

We usually start with a conversation about what’s going on, what prompted you to reach out, and what you’re hoping to sort out.

After that, we may review documents, ask for more background, speak with key people, or look at the current process. Then we’ll recommend the next steps. Depending on the project, we might write or update policies, guide managers, review compliance areas, support implementation, or help your team work through the issue.

The cost depends on the work involved, the size of your organization, and how complex the issue is. Once we understand what you need, we can recommend the level of support that fits the situation.
