Q: Who needs HR Consulting?

A: In my perfect world, every organization would have someone responsible for the people activities. In the real world, most small and medium sized businesses don’t. At Love HR, we see four types of clients:

• Companies that know what they want to do, but don’t have the expertise in-house to make it happen, nor do they want to hire a full time HR person.
• Companies that have hit a wall they can’t get past, e.g., losing employees faster than they hire them; morale is low; productivity is slowing; profits are down; customers and/or employees are complaining; etc.
• Companies where the owner or another executive is given the HR responsibilities to do in her “spare” time which takes her away from her real job and growing the business.
• Companies with an overburdened HR person who has no time to connect what the business is trying to do with the actual people practices and skills in the workplace.

All of these situations could benefit from HR help in the form of someone who can connect what the organization is trying to accomplish with the people practices and skills needed to get there and then help you make it happen.

Q: What is HR Consulting?

A: HR Consulting looks different for every client. With Love HR, once we know your pain point, then we work with you on the right solution for your business. By “right” we mean practical, creative, and as simple as possible. Our projects have included:
