HR Consulting

A manager ignores harassment complaints until a lawyer calls. A family business hires its unqualified nephew as CFO. A startup grows from 10 to 100 people with no job descriptions and total chaos. HR consultants parachute into these messes. This category is for independent advisors and small firms who fix broken people operations. Write about conducting a wage and hour audit before the Department of Labor does it, mediating a conflict between two partners who can’t share power, or designing a performance review system that doesn’t drive everyone insane. Share templates for termination memos that reduce lawsuit risk, checklists for investigating internal theft, and scripts for telling a founder their favourite employee is toxic. Case studies preferred: how you saved a client from a retaliation claim, why a 360‑degree feedback tool backfired, what you learned from a botched layoff. No HR buzzwords – just practical, legally informed, emotionally intelligent advice.
