FAQs

What types of HR strategy projects do you work on?

Some examples of scenarios I provide include:

  • Implementing remote or hybrid work models

  • Guiding leadership through key staffing changes (eg. layoffs, hiring to scale)

  • Building and leading management training programs

  • Optimizing HR processes while managing budget constraints

What will we discuss in an initial consultation?

My free consultation allows me to better understand your needs (or help you identify what your needs might be!) I want to understand what your biggest people-related challenges are, how your current HR approach/resourcing has been working, and what success looks like in a potential engagement. Then I can provide some initial ideas on how I might be able to support you or if there’s another solution that might work better for your needs. This is a no-pressure exploration where I’m committed to giving you an honest assessment of support needs.
