We’re often the first and only HR professional in an organization. Consultants may work with multiple clients at a time, including fractional leadership, project support, and small retainers. 

 You will:

• Assess client needs from culture to compliance, then help them create and execute their HR priorities and create an HR Roadmap.

• Advise the leadership team and support employees with workplace issues, questions, and concerns.
