HR Advisor Access Membership
Your trusted HR advisor, without the cost of a full-time HR department.
HR questions don't wait for the perfect time. An employee raises a concern. A manager needs guidance. You're unsure how to handle a performance issue. You're preparing to hire-or let someone go.

Instead of searching online or hoping you're making the right decision, you'll have an experienced HR advisor just an email or phone call away.
Â
HR Advisor Access Membership gives you practical HR guidance, ongoing support, and peace of mind-whenever you need it.

Is HR Advisor Access Right for You?
This membership is designed for organizations that don't need a full-time HR professional but want a trusted resource for everyday HR questions and guidance.

Small businesses with 5-50 employees
Nonprofits without dedicated HR staff
Business owners managing HR themselves
Organizations that have completed an HR Health Assessment
Leaders who want expert guidance before making important employee decisions
Here's what HR Advisor Access helps you avoid
Most business owners don't need a full-time HR department. They need someone they trust before making important employee decisions. HR Advisor Access helps you avoid: guessing how to handle an employee situation, wondering if you're creating unnecessary risk, spending hours searching online for HR answers, walking into difficult conversations without a plan, and letting small people issues become much bigger problems. As a member, you'll receive:
Monthly Strategy Call
Every month we'll spend dedicated time focused on your business, your people, and the HR questions that matter most to you.
Email Support
When questions come up between calls, you won't have to figure them out alone. Reach out for practical guidance from an experienced HR advisor, with responses typically provided within one business day.
Practical HR Guidance
Support focused on outcomes: Employee relations, Performance management, Documentation, Hiring, Workplace policies, Compliance, and Professional Coaching.
HR Resource Library
Members receive access to practical HR templates and resources, including:
Documentation templates
Performance conversation guides
New hire checklist
Termination checklist
Manager quick-reference tools
HR checklists
Additional resources are added throughout the year.
- Can I terminate this employee?
- How should I document this situation?

Common Questions We Help With

Sometimes the most valuable answer is having an experienced HR professional help you think through the situation before taking action.
- How should I respond to an employee complaint?
- Can you review this policy before I share it?
- What are my options here?
- Am I thinking about this the right way?

Why I Created HR Advisor Access
After nearly 20 years in HR, I've noticed something. Most small businesses don't need a full-time HR department. They simply want someone they trust when people issues arise.
Someone to help them think through a difficult conversation. Review a policy before they send it. Talk through a performance concern. Or simply answer the question...
"Am I handling this the right way?"
That's exactly why I created HR Advisor Access.
Common Questions We Help With
These are the kinds of conversations members bring every month.
Is there a contract?
No. Membership is billed monthly and may be canceled at any time.
How quickly will I receive a response?
Email questions are typically answered within one business day.
Can I use my monthly call for any HR topic?
Absolutely. Your strategy session can be used for employee relations, hiring, documentation, compliance questions, leadership challenges, policy guidance, or any other HR topic.
What if I need help with a larger project?
If your needs extend beyond the membership, we'll recommend the best solution and provide a clear scope of work before moving forward.
Does this replace Fractional HR?
No. HR Advisor Access is designed for organizations that need occasional guidance. Fractional HR is a more comprehensive partnership that includes strategic planning, implementation, and ongoing HR leadership.
