What is Fractional HR?
Fractional HR provides organizations with access to the full suite of HR services on a part-time or fractional basis. It is an extension of your organization with a more personal relationship with your team than a PEO or other outsourced solution. You get access to an entire human resources department at a fraction of the cost.

Shawnna is instrumental in helping us navigate a very tumultuous labor market and a rapidly changing HR landscape. Her calm demeanor makes her exceptionally approachable to our diverse team.

Care On Location
As the founder of a small telemedicine company where I was originally also the only medical provider, it was daunting when the company began to grow and I had absolutely no experience with HR requirements.
Luckily, I found Shawnna. Large HR services were way more than I needed and cost way more too. As a growing small business, Shawnna, as a Fractional HR Officer, provided customized HR oversight and services in an efficient and friendly manner. She helped us with compliance, employee manuals, benefits, job descriptions, onboarding, termination/offboarding, and much more. I appreciate her ability to quickly and efficiently seek an answer to a question if that solution is not immediately known. Her style is professional yet relaxed. Each meeting involved some enjoyable conversation mixed in with high quality work.
