HR management for growing teams
You have a growing business. It is no longer you doing everything. You have hired employees to help run the business. However, having a staff has brought its own challenges.
Too many people to keep track of. A growing payroll. Questions about time off, benefits, schedules, managing performance, legal compliance. Handling all of this is time consuming, and not why you got into business in the first place.
I help you solve these problems so you can refocus on growing your business.
I'm Bill Gottlin
I have been helping growing businesses with their HR problems for 21 years. The average client stays 8-10 years.
I have worked with owners and top managers across a variety of industries. The basic principles of HR remain the same.
Find and hire hard working, responsible people.
Create solid processes for on-boarding and integrating these people into your team.
Develop policies that are legally compliant, reflect your culture and apply to all.
Encourage communication and effective supervision.
Handle sticky problems before they blow up.
Reliable management of "must get it right" processes like payroll, benefits, retirement programs.
These principles can be applied to every organization including yours.
I offer an ongoing HR manager service for businesses that need fractional HR support.
I act as your HR partner to build a solid personnel structure and systems, handle day-to-day issues and people decisions.
In practice, we will work together on implementing your priorities. Based on my experience with many companies, I will also suggest things that work well (and tell you what is not important or worth doing). I will be the HR "face" for your employees, communicating policies, fielding their questions, and working with your supervisors.
I can also handle your payroll processing, benefits open enrollment, retirement plan administration, unemployment and other government issues.
Along the way, you will find that I am a person that you can discuss confidential plans and concerns, listening and advising you based on my own experience. Most business owners do not have anyone that they can really talk to in their business.
What is "fractional?" It means that you pay only for the services I provide, typically 10-20 hours per month. Professional, experienced HR service at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Part of Your Team
Investment
I keep it simple: $175 per hour. We will establish a minimum number of hours per month. If you prefer a flat retainer fee, we can discuss.
No contract, cancel any time. Many clients have been with me for 8 years or more.
Not ready for ongoing HR help?
Start with solving one problem.
I will do one thing for you - create or revise a handbook, write job descriptions or a management training, advise on a difficult employee situation. This is not a recruiting service, so don't ask me to recruit someone.
