FRACTIONAL HR
Ongoing HR leadership, wherever your team is based
Once your first U.S. hires are in place, the questions don’t stop. This retainer picks up where a project engagement ends — structured, scoped monthly support, not an open-ended arrangement.
U.S. COMPANIES
1–50 employees, no HR function
You’re managing performance issues reactively, onboarding is inconsistent, terminations feel like a legal minefield, and you know compliance gaps are building up. You need HR structure and leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
- Employee relations and performance management guidance
- Termination Guidance and offboarding support
- New hire onboarding coordination
- Policy maintenance and compliance calendar management
- Vendor management — payroll, benefits, HRIS
- Leadership coaching on U.S. workforce matters
EU Companies with a U.S. Team
Support that continues past first hire
Performance issues, a termination that needs to be handled the American way, a European leadership team that needs the “why” behind a U.S. HR decision translated in terms they trust.
- +Everything in the U.S. retainer, plus:
- Bridging management decisions back to EU leadership
- Bilingual coaching for EU managers leading U.S. teams
