SHRM standards
Society for Human Resource Management body of knowledge. The practitioner-grade reference for HR operations, compensation, training, and employee relations.
Confident decision-making across human resources, employment practices, and workforce compliance. Analysis is guided by SHRM standards, EEOC guidelines, regional employment laws, and FLSA/ADA alignment requirements that apply to your specific footprint.
Society for Human Resource Management body of knowledge. The practitioner-grade reference for HR operations, compensation, training, and employee relations.
US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requirements: hiring practices, anti-discrimination, reasonable accommodation, harassment response. The federal floor.
State-by-state and country-by-country variation in wage and hour, leave entitlements, non-compete and arbitration rules, classification standards. Multi-jurisdiction engagements require this layer.
Fair Labor Standards Act (classification, overtime, minimum wage) and Americans with Disabilities Act (accommodation, accessibility, hiring). Two areas where small errors create large liability.
Honest assessment of your current state: classifications, policies, documentation, training, complaint handling. Where the gaps are and how exposed they make you.
Written policies covering employment, conduct, accommodations, leave, anti-harassment, performance management. Scoped to your jurisdictions, not generic templates.
A handbook that actually reflects how you operate, that satisfies legal disclosure requirements, and that employees can actually read.
What training is required (anti-harassment, safety, role-specific compliance), by whom, on what cadence, with what evidence. Built so audits are routine.
Documented intake, investigation, and resolution process. Reduces the cost and risk of complaints when they arise.
Standardized onboarding and exit checklists with the legal, documentation, and access-control elements baked in. Reduces single points of failure when key people leave.
HR crosses Legal (employment law, contracts, terminations), Privacy (employee data, monitoring, classification), and Security (background checks, access management on hire/exit). Multi-state and international engagements add layers; we coordinate them under one team.
Classification (exempt/non-exempt, employee vs contractor), policy completeness, handbook currency, required training compliance, recordkeeping, complaint handling history, and adverse-action procedures. The result is a prioritized list of exposures, not a 60-page report nobody reads.
Yes. Multi-state work is where the value of structured HR operations is highest, employment law variation is substantial. We map the obligations by state and produce policies and procedures that work across them.
No. We work alongside your HR team, or alongside the executive or office manager doing the HR work in smaller companies. We bring the methodology and the policy depth; you keep the relationships and the day-to-day operations.
We design the training program and the compliance tracking; for delivery, we either use your LMS or partner with content providers we trust. We are not in the training delivery business; we make sure the right training happens, with evidence.
Annual review cadence with quarterly check-ins for jurisdictions with active legislative agendas. When something material changes (a new state law, an EEOC guidance update), we update the affected policies and notify you.
The discovery conversation takes 30 to 60 minutes. We respond within one business day.
