Have HR questions? We've got answers. 

The employer-employee relationship can be full of ups and downs, and every employer has HR-related questions from time to time. For small business owners that do not have a dedicated HR manager (yet), it is not always easy to find answers to these questions as they arise. If this sounds like you, we can help! Our HR consultant, Danielle Harshenin, works exclusively with small local businesses that need a-la-carte style HR services. We provide both one-time and ongoing assistance and are happy to act as your virtual HR department for as long as you need us. 

OUR HR CONSULTING SERVICES

• Guidance & Advice. When you're ready to hire employees, it is a good idea to seek professional advice about how to comply with BC employment laws, how to establish and maintain an effective HR paper trail, and how to do it the "right way" the first time. 
• Questions & Answers. You may have HR-related questions throughout the employment relationship and we are here to answer them as they arise.  ​
• ​Interview Coaching. If interviewing potential employees feels daunting, we can help you gain confidence, write appropriate interview questions, and learn best practices.  

• Document Drafting & Design. Need a customized HR form, letter or document drafted? We design and draft all types of HR documents to suit your small business's needs.
• ​Document Review & Editing. If you want to ensure your HR documents and letters comply with BC employment laws, we can read them over and provide you with feedback. 
• ​Opinion Letters. If you are faced with a complex HR issue and would like advice about how to handle it, we can perform research on your behalf and provide you with written advice about how to proceed. ​
