Engagement Models
Hourly
Ideal for companies needing quick consultations or support on a project-by-project basis. This option provides you with access to my HR expertise without long-term commitments.
Retainer-Based
For companies seeking ongoing HR support, I offer monthly retainer plans. This option is great for companies with challenging HR issues, who need a senior HR leader as an escalation point, or for mentoring less experienced HR teams. I also offer fractional HR leadership to provide guidance on a part-time basis. Retainers are customized based on your business needs and the level of engagement required.
Project Based
If you have a specific HR initiative or challenge—such as employee handbooks, policy creation, or strategic planning—I offer fixed-fee project billing. This ensures transparency and predictability in costs from start to finish.
Customized Retainer Plans
In addition to the standard retainer, I offer tailored packages that include weekly check-ins, strategy reviews, or unlimited access to HR support for urgent matters. This gives you the flexibility to scale my involvement as needed.
