HR Support

Some people decisions carry more weight than you want to carry alone.

A termination that could go sideways. A disclosure you’re not sure how to handle. A situation where you know the next move matters.

You may already have an instinct about what to do. You just want to know what you’re missing before you do it.

Where I fit

You know your business. I help you see the people side more clearly.

When a difficult situation lands, you need more than a policy citation. You need to understand the options, the risk, and what each path could mean for the people involved and the business you are trying to build.

You make the call. I’m beside you, not above you.

What relief can look like

You don’t need every hard decision to feel this heavy.

Sometimes the relief is simply knowing you’ve looked at the situation from the angles that matter, made the call you can stand behind, and can stop replaying it after the day is over.

Ways I can help

Use the level of support the situation calls for.

Fractional support, defined projects, and manager development are simply different ways to put experienced HR judgment where you need it, without building a full internal HR department.

Ongoing

Fractional HR Leadership

Experienced support for difficult decisions, day-to-day people issues, and leadership questions that benefit from a senior HR partner.

Defined work

HR Projects

Handbooks, hiring processes, compliance gaps, policies, and practical HR infrastructure built around the way your company works.

Capability

Manager Development

Help managers build stronger judgment around performance, communication, conflict, and day-to-day people leadership.

Who this is for

When you need experienced HR judgment without handing over the decision.

A good fit for small business owners, managers, and solo HR professionals who need help with a difficult employee situation, a defined HR project, or stronger manager capability.

What the work can include

Practical support around the work already on your desk.

Employee handbooks, onboarding tools, HR audits, policies, hiring processes, leadership training and development, and other defined HR projects.

Investment

Consulting engagements start at $2,500.

The final scope and price depend on the situation, the work involved, and how much support you need.

What happens next

You don’t need to know what kind of engagement you need before we talk.

Start with what is happening. We’ll get clear on whether this is a situation to think through, a defined project to scope, or something that needs a different kind of support.

01

Bring the situation

Tell me what is happening, what you have already tried, and the part you are unsure about.

02

We sort out the need

We’ll talk through the options and decide whether the work fits E Factor Leadership’s scope.

03

You get a clear next step

If it is a fit, I’ll outline the scope, timing, and investment before we begin.

Questions that usually come up

Before you decide whether to reach out.

Do I need to know exactly what kind of HR help I need?

No. Start with the situation in front of you. Part of the first conversation is figuring out what kind of support, if any, makes sense.

What kinds of HR projects do you take on?

Defined projects can include employee handbooks, onboarding tools, HR audits, policies, hiring processes, leadership training and development, and other limited HR work that fits the business need.

How much does HR consulting cost?

Consulting engagements start at $2,500. The final price depends on the scope, complexity, and level of support involved.

How I work

The law is a guardrail, not a wall.

Compliance matters. So do context, judgment, culture, and where the business is going.

I won’t hand you a verdict from above or create a dependency on me. The goal is a stronger business with more capable leaders.

Start here

Bring me the situation you keep turning over.

You don’t have to have the answer before we talk. Bring the facts, the concern, and the part you’re not sure about.
