At Pro HR, we begin our partnership with you by understanding what your HR pain points are and how we can assist with these. Once we understand your current state and what you need support on, we work together to provide practical and affordable solutions for future state. Examples of some of the work that we do include:
- Virtual HR management support: a resource for the management team and/or employees in all facets of HR, such as employee relations, project work, HR fundamentals
- On-site HR management support: we can have HR presence in your office and provide regular support for employees and managers alike
- Part-time/Interim help: we can provide HR support on a part-time or interim basis to cover leaves or turnover
- Fractional HR leader: for those companies that are growing or starting up and require additional HR help before hiring a full-time onsite HR professional
HR Outsourcing
As your Chief People Officer on Demand, we have the expertise to lead your HR function or be there for on-demand HR help, as required. This could be in the form of:
- Employee relations: offering advice on conflict management, leave management, or terminations
- Workplace investigations: having an objective, third-party investigate a harassment or violence case
- Organizational design: determining what the right structure for your organization is and how to effectively manage it
HR Consulting/Advising
You may need assistance with managing a difficult employee situation or determining whether you need to restructure all or part of your organization. Why speak with a lawyer and incur unnecessary charges when you can obtain assistance from us on:
- Policies: required policies are in place, and employees have understood and signed off on these
- HR technology: in some cases, it makes sense to launch an HR system to better track employee data and leverage the system for other HR programs, such as performance management and tracking time off. We can help provide you with recommendations on a system that is suitable for you and then partner with you on an implementation plan
HR Fundamentals
There are some legislative requirements that need to be in place in order for your business to be compliant, as well as some HR add-ons that will make your life easier. We can assist with:
- Performance management: creating a program for measuring performance and managing under-performance effectively
- Employee Engagement/Culture: helping you launch a survey and then analyzing the results to make recommendations that will lead to increased employee productivity and morale; assisting with employee communications; helping you define and enhance your culture
- Building a Talent Review process: defining and identifying high potentials and building a succession planning process so that you are attracting, retaining, and developing your employees
- Leadership Development: leadership assessments (e.g., 360), coaching, development planning

Testimonials
Justin Di Ciano Partner, Prime Real Estate Group Inc.
Pro HR has been a tremendous help to our business! Deborah has been our Chief People Officer on demand, and in a short period of time, she has made a big impact. She has worked with our leadership team to create a mission, vision, values, and 2020 strategy for our business, which has been invaluable to getting our employees on board with our focus for the next 1-5 years. Pro HR has also helped us create a highly effective performance management program and employee communications plan, which have helped streamline our work and ensure that we are collaborating where we need to. Deborah has also led the charge in rolling out a new HR system, which has led to a significant reduction in administration, as well as an ease of measuring performance and performing other daily functions. Deborah is also our on-call expert for any employee relations issues or HR coaching in general. Deborah has been a big support to Prime, and I would recommend her services to any small to mid-sized business that is looking to enhance their HR function and culture!
Matthew Rooney Founding Partner, Streetwise Consulting, Inc.
Running a small business, it’s easy to be so focused on getting work done for clients that internal practices fall behind. We don’t have a full-time HR manager, but we wanted to update our approach to managing our people, and at the same time, prevent unnecessary risk. Pro HR has helped us do both, by creating key employee documents and by providing HR consulting we know we can trust. Pro HR has had an immediate and critical impact on the way we run our business, and I would recommend their services to any small business that needs a trusted advisor for all things HR.
