HR Compass Case Study
The Company : Construction firm with 25 employees and 10 million in revenue. Trying to grow to 50 employees in the next 3 years.
The Scenario: The owner appointed the CFO with the responsibilities of HR in the organization. The CFO has never had experience in HR, but attended an HR course mostly on the subject of HR Compliance. CFO has “enough HR knowledge to be dangerous”, but does not have an extensive background.
The HR Compass Solution: The CFO called us and we appointed an HR Director for 6 hours (Silver Compass) with extensive HR background. They first worked on State and Federal HR Laws and asked questions about the compliance level of their business. Once that was complete, they worked on a formal employee review and feedback process that they put in place for the next year. The CFO now has a dedicated resource to call with any questions in an area that he was not fully confident.

Life happens — a termination, a harassment complaint, a surprise audit. If you need more hours than your plan covers in any given month, we’ll talk through options. You can upgrade your plan, add hours as needed, or in some cases handle it through our Interim HR service. We’ll never leave you stranded in the middle of an issue.
-
Usually within a week or two. We’ll start with a conversation to understand your current HR situation, then match you with the right HR Director and get onboarded. Most clients are up and running — with real support — faster than they expected.
