Lean In HR Services
Fractional HR support designed for growing companies who need a trusted people partner without hiring full-time.
How We Work
Most clients work with Lean In HR through a monthly retainer, with pricing shared after an initial consult call.
For owners who prefer a structured, time‑bound option, there is also a 90‑day HR Clean-Up Cohort designed to help you tighten up the basics before you consider ongoing support.
Both approaches provide dedicated guidance that scales with your team
HR Blueprint Service (formerly the 90‑day cohort)
This is a focused, done‑with‑you engagement designed for small business owners who want a clear plan and simple tools to tighten up HR - without hiring a full‑time HR leader.
Using Lean In HR’s proven HR Compliance Checklist and a guided step‑by‑step framework, we work together to:
- Identify the 3 - 5 biggest HR gaps in your business;
- Fix your highest‑risk issues first, such as documentation, handbook policies, complaints, or wage‑and‑hour basics;
- Put simple HR rhythms and routines in place so things stay consistent and compliant over time.
You will get custom templates, a practical 90‑day action plan tailored to your company, and three working sessions with Kelly to answer questions and help you implement.
It’s hands‑on help that builds confidence and saves time, so you can manage HR effectively without feeling overwhelmed or expanding your team.
This service is a great starting point before moving into an ongoing Fractional HR Retainer, giving you the clarity, documentation, and structure that every small business needs.
