Fractional HR refers to a service model where businesses engage a Human Resources professional on a part-time, contract, or temporary basis rather than employing a full-time HR staff member. This approach provides companies, especially small to mid-sized businesses, with access to expert HR support and strategic guidance without the expense of a full-time hire. Fractional HR professionals can handle a range of tasks including employee relations, compliance, and HR strategy, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness while ensuring that HR functions are managed efficiently and effectively.

My ideal client is a growing company that wants to move from a reactive approach to HR, to a more strategic, proactive one. These businesses have reached a point where they can no longer afford to handle HR on the fly—they need structure, consistency, and a strategy that works long-term.

My ideal client recognizes that setting employees up for success requires more than just good intentions; it takes a well thought-out plan, clear expectations, and the right support for managers and employees alike. They want to leverage HR to reduce confusion, improve efficiency, and create a workplace where employees can perform at their best.

For project-based work, pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis, tailored to the specific requirements and scope of the project. This allows me to provide a customized quote that accurately reflects the work involved.

Consulting rates, however, are fixed and standardized to ensure clarity and consistency. If you have any particular needs or constraints, feel free to discuss them with me, and I'll do my best to accommodate within the framework of my established rates.

I primarily communicate with clients via phone and email, ensuring quick and efficient exchanges. For recurring meetings, I use Teams video calls, although I am flexible and can adapt to other platforms if that’s your preference. I am based in Sacramento, California, and can travel locally for on-site work if needed. While I usually don’t travel outside the Sacramento area, I am open to making arrangements for special circumstances. Let me know your preferred communication methods and any specific needs you might have!

We start by understanding you, your employees, and your business. Together, we’ll assess your legal obligations, your current HR practices (or lack thereof), and what is and isn’t working for your team. From there, I develop and implement customized processes, tools, and strategies that align with your business needs.

The key areas I focus on are compliance, onboarding and offboarding, benefits and compensation, performance management, and employee experience. Where we start depends on what’s most pressing for your business. If urgent issues need attention, we’ll tackle them first. When time allows, we’ll build toward long-term strategy. No matter where we begin, the goal is to create a solid HR foundation that supports both your employees and your business.
