Fractional HR & people operations · Minneapolis

Hands-on HR help for the people problems slowing you down.

When hiring stalls or managers keep bringing the same problems to you, I help put workable HR systems in place. Bring me in for a focused engagement or ongoing people-operations support.

HR support is available on its own. You don’t need a broader COO engagement.

Where I can help

Start with the work your team keeps working around.

You may need help filling a role, or someone to take on a wider set of HR responsibilities. We can scope the work around the problem in front of you.

Hiring & onboarding

Define the role and build an interview process around it. Put onboarding and training in place so new hires aren’t left to figure everything out on their own.

Managers & accountability

Give managers clear expectations and a workable review process. Look at recurring staffing problems and the reasons good people leave.

Policies & HR foundations

Organize the handbook, policies, and employee documentation so the team has a consistent reference.

Legal questions and decisions stay with your employment counsel.

Pay & benefits administration

Build clearer pay bands and role levels. Untangle the administration around payroll and benefits so responsibilities don’t fall between people.

Client example · Youth sports

Rebuilding HR around the people doing the work.

A youth sports organization brought me in to repair its HR function. Over six months, I rebuilt core HR processes alongside the staffing and training work the team needed.

I also introduced processes designed to support a healthier working culture.

Working together

A focused project or ongoing HR support.

We start by talking through what’s happening and where you need help. Then we agree on the scope of the work.

Where it saves time, AI can help draft onboarding and training materials from approved policies. Managers review those materials before use. Hiring, pay, and employment decisions stay with people.

If the people issues are part of a wider operating problem, we can discuss fractional COO and operations support. Broader work is a separate scope decision.
