Human Resources Consultant

Greater Seattle Area

I am leveraging my extensive experience in HR to provide a broad set of services to help ensure the success of thought-leading businesses throughout the West Coast. Seattle is still my home base.One important area of focus will be helping companies establish effective pay strategies and reward systems—so they can hire and retain the right people, at the right time, with the right package. In this competitive marketplace, managers need to be realistic about what they need to pay and not over-pay. They can benefit from my deep knowledge and experience in recruiting and comp. Not only do I help set up positions, salary levels, and benchmarking, I teach HR personnel to effectively level employees so staff can continue to make the best decisions for cash flow and talent. I keep a laser focus on how companies spend their payroll dollars and provide thoughtful guidance in support of achieving company short and long-term goals.Services:•	Compensation Strategy, Structure & Benchmarking•	C-Suite Coaching•	Organizational Health: Pat Lencioni Model•	Exec Team Coaching & Assessment•	Employee Development•	Competitive Benefits Assessment•	Performance Management: Process & Systems Implementation•	Building a Feedback Culture•	Recruiting: from Sourcing to Hire•	Recruiting Process Development & Coaching•	Interim Human Resource Management•	Acquisition Integration•	Reduction in Force Support
