HR support built around your business.
Whether you need ongoing HR leadership, experienced counsel for a complex situation, or help completing a defined project, HR Maxim provides practical support aligned with your business and internal resources.
Three ways to work together.
Fractional HR Leadership
Executive HR leadership, on a part-time basis.
HR Maxim works with your owners and leadership team on an ongoing, part-time basis to set HR priorities, support managers, and lead agreed work through completion.
When this is the right fit
You need senior HR ownership without a full-time executive. Your owner or office manager may be carrying too much, or your internal HR team may need experienced leadership.
We can serve as your senior HR resource or work alongside existing HR and administrative staff.
What HR Maxim can lead
Employee relations: Addressing performance concerns, workplace complaints, corrective action, and sensitive employment decisions.
Compliance and risk: Identifying gaps in workplace practices and leading practical improvements.
Manager support: Preparing managers for difficult conversations, consistent documentation, and employee decisions.
People infrastructure: Strengthening policies, responsibilities, and processes for hiring, onboarding, leave, and employee transitions.
HR operations: Payroll, benefits, and leave administration may be included based on your organization’s needs, existing systems, and the agreed scope.
How the partnership works
We agree on priorities, the work HR Maxim will own, a regular working schedule, designated contacts, and communication and response expectations. Support may be remote, onsite, or hybrid, depending on the engagement.
Executive HR Advisory
Experienced counsel for the decisions that need more than a quick answer.
HR Maxim helps owners, leaders, and internal HR professionals work through sensitive employee situations, weigh options, and prepare next steps.
When this is the right fit
Your team can carry out the work but needs senior guidance for a difficult decision, unfamiliar situation, or compliance question.
We provide advice and preparation. Your team remains responsible for employee communication, implementation, and ongoing administration.
Where HR Maxim can advise
Employee relations: Working through performance, conduct, attendance, workplace complaints, and other sensitive employee concerns.
Employment decisions: Evaluating options and preparing for corrective action, changes in responsibilities, or employee separations.
Compliance questions: Assessing workplace practices, policies, and documentation to identify concerns and practical next steps.
Leave and accommodation matters: Helping your team evaluate requests, organize the process, and identify considerations requiring further review.
Manager and HR coaching: Preparing leaders for difficult conversations and strengthening their judgment, documentation, and follow-through.
Coordination with specialists: Identifying when employment counsel, a benefits advisor, or another specialist should be involved.
How the advisory relationship works
Support can address a specific situation or continue through an ongoing advisory relationship. We agree on designated contacts, meeting and document-review scope, communication and response expectations, and checkpoints for guidance.
Project Services
Focused expertise. A defined scope. Work brought to completion.
HR Maxim completes defined HR assignments, delivering tools, findings, or recommendations your business can use—without an ongoing engagement.
When this is the right fit
You have a workplace concern to investigate, a handbook to update, or an HR process to improve. Your team needs additional capacity or specialized expertise to complete the work.
Projects can resolve an immediate need or strengthen your practices before problems arise.
What project work can include
Workplace investigations: Conducting interviews, reviewing relevant records, and documenting findings related to employee complaints or alleged misconduct.
Employee handbooks and policies: Developing or updating materials to reflect your operations, workforce, and applicable workplace requirements.
HR compliance reviews: Examining selected policies, practices, and records to identify gaps and prioritize improvements.
HR process improvements: Creating clearer workflows, documentation, and responsibilities for onboarding, leave administration, employee changes, and separations.
Manager tools and training: Developing practical templates, guidance, and focused training to help managers handle employee responsibilities consistently.
How the project works
We agree on scope, deliverables, timeline, fee, and the information and participation needed from your team. HR Maxim completes the assignment, reviews the results with you, and explains next steps.
Implementation support may be included in the agreed scope or arranged separately.
