Fractional CHRO leadership for CEOs who need a people strategy.
You need a chief people officer’s judgment at the leadership table. You may not need one full time. We step in as your fractional CHRO for as long as the work requires.
Executive-level fractional HR leadership. Not payroll.
Most fractional HR firms run HR operations. We do not run payroll, benefits or employee assistance programs. We work alongside your HR team, not in place of it, on the people issues HR rarely has the time or resources to take on.
When a fractional chief people officer makes sense.
You are growing, merging or restructuring.
And you cannot afford to lose good people.
Your leadership team is not working as a team.
The people at the top need to pull in the same direction.
You just took over.
You need to know who you have, and whether they are the right people.
Good people are leaving.
And you want to know why.
Your HR lead has no executive partner.
They run operations well. No one at the top owns the people strategy.
You are between chief people officers.
The seat needs covering while you find the right permanent hire.
What your fractional CHRO does.
Strategy and judgment
We sit with you and your executive team on major people decisions. We find the root cause behind turnover, accountability gaps and leadership problems. Then we build the people strategy: values, culture, leadership development and hiring for fit.
Leaders, managers and HR
We develop your managers and your leadership team, and we partner with your HR team at the executive level. When the time is right, we prepare the organization for a permanent chief people officer. We have done it before.

It starts with a conversation.
Every engagement starts with a free consultation, in person, by Zoom or by phone. Most leaders leave with a few quick wins. If a fractional role fits, we shape it to your organization and set the scope, time and length together. We work with organizations anywhere, on site or virtually.
Fractional CHRO questions.
What is a fractional CHRO?
A senior people executive who works with your leadership team part time. You get chief-level judgment on people strategy without a full-time executive salary.
Is a fractional chief people officer the same thing?
Yes. Chief people officer and chief human resources officer are two titles for the same seat. The work is what matters.
How is this different from fractional HR?
Most fractional HR firms handle HR operations such as payroll, benefits and compliance. We do not. We work at the executive level on the strategy behind your people decisions.
Do you replace our HR team?
No. We work alongside them and give them an executive partner.
Where do you work?
Anywhere. We travel to you, and we also work virtually.
How long does an engagement last?
It depends on the engagement. We set the scope and length together after the first conversation.
