Employee Relations Consulting · Remote, Nationwide

When a people problem lands on your desk.

A complaint. A performance issue that's dragged on for months. A manager and an employee who can't be in the same meeting. I help leaders figure out what's really going on and handle it the right way.

What I help with

The situations nobody trained you for.

Most employee relations problems start as a conversation someone put off too long. By the time it reaches you, it's tangled up with history, frustration, and people taking sides.

  • An employee complaint about a manager or coworker
  • Performance or attendance problems that aren't improving
  • A manager and employee whose relationship has broken down
  • Preparing for a hard conversation — feedback, discipline, or a termination
  • Morale problems after a layoff, reorg, or leadership change
  • Figuring out whether something needs HR, an attorney, or just a better conversation

When a complaint needs a formal, neutral investigation, I do that too. Workplace investigations →

How I work

We start with a free call so I understand the situation. Then we figure out what needs to happen, who needs to talk to whom, and what that conversation should sound like. I help you plan it, and when it makes sense, I'm in the room for it.

Seven-plus years running ModHR and a SHRM-CP behind me. No templates — every situation is different.

FAQ

Common questions

What counts as an employee relations issue?

Anything where the working relationship between an employee and the company has gotten complicated: complaints, performance problems, attendance, a manager and employee who've stopped communicating, or a situation that's heading toward someone quitting or being let go.

We don't have an HR department. Can you still help?

Yes. A lot of the leaders I work with don't have HR, or have one person doing everything. I help you think it through and handle the conversation, and I'll tell you when something needs an employment attorney.

Do you do handbooks, compliance, and payroll?

That's not my focus. I have a trusted network of referral partners for traditional HR work and I'll point you to the right one.

How do we start?
