Brandi E.

Fractional HR Consultant | HR Operations

Fractional HR consultant with 20+ years of experience spanning Fortune 500 companies—including Google, UnitedHealthcare, and the New York Times—and the small, growing businesses I partner with today. I help owners handle the full range of people operations with the rigor of a large corporate HR department, minus the cost and overhead. I step in as your on-call HR partner for employee relations, benefits and leave, compliance, and the strategic questions that pull business owners away from running their company. I work best with owners who want to hand off the people side entirely and trust me to guide the way. Many of my clients have kept me on retainer for over a year, because once the people side is handled, they can focus on growth. Where I help most: * Employee relations & engagement — handling conflicts, performance issues, difficult conversations, and culture * Recruiting strategy & hiring process — designing systems that work, advising on best practices for sourcing and screening * Benefits, leave & ADA — open enrollment, accommodations, compliance * HR operations & process — building handbooks, onboarding systems, and workflows that actually stick * Compensation strategy — structure, equity analysis, pay benchmarking * EEO compliance & investigations — Certified EEO Counselor and Investigator * HRIS & ATS strategy — streamlining hiring and recordkeeping I work especially well with owners in healthcare, professional services, and accounting—people-heavy businesses where HR can't be an afterthought. If you need someone reliable to take the people side off your plate and guide you through it, let's talk about what's on yours.
