    Our Approach

    HR support designed to reduce risk and give leaders peace of mind without unnecessary overhead.


    Many organizations don’t need full fractional HR support. They need experienced guidance when people decisions matter.


    Our work focuses on clarity, confidence, and risk management.

    So you can make people decisions without second-guessing or unnecessary complexity.

    Most small businesses don’t need full fractional HR.

    They need clarity, confidence, and protection when people decisions matter.

    ​

    At Integrity People Group, we don’t believe effective HR support has to look like a full-time hire or an expensive, all-or-nothing contract. Many of our clients simply want peace of mind that they’re handling employment decisions correctly and not exposing their business to unnecessary risk.

    ​

    That’s where our approach is different.

    What You’re Really Paying For

    Our clients aren’t paying us to “do HR tasks.”


    They’re investing in:

    • Experienced judgment during complex or sensitive people decisions

    • Risk awareness before issues escalate

    • Clear guidance when the right answer isn’t obvious

    • Confidence that decisions are compliant, defensible, and humane

     

    In other words:

    You’re not buying hours. You’re buying decision support and risk management.

    Why We Don’t Bill Like Traditional HR Firms

    Traditional HR billing models focus on:

    • Time spent

    • Documents produced

    • Administrative volume

    ​​

    That’s why most of our services are structured around decision coverage, not task completion.

    Our work focuses on:

    • What’s at stake

    • What could go wrong

    • What needs to happen next

    How Our Services Are Structured

    We support small and mid-sized businesses with thoughtful HR advisory designed to reduce risk, strengthen decision-making, and provide peace of mind without unnecessary overhead.

     

    Our services are flexible by design. Some clients need a strong HR foundation. Others want trusted guidance when people decisions arise. Many want both.

     

    Below is an overview of how clients typically engage with us. Final scope and pricing depend on your organization’s size, complexity, and risk exposure.

    HR Foundation & Risk Stabilization

    Best for: Small businesses without formal HR systems or internal HR leadership

    ​

    This level of support establishes the core HR infrastructure your business needs to operate confidently and compliantly.

    ​

    We help you lay the right foundations so policies are clear, documentation is defensible, and managers know how to apply HR practices consistently.

     

    This support typically includes:

    • Core HR policies and processes aligned to your business and industry

    • Compliance guidance based on company size, location, and growth stage

    • Practical manager guidance to reduce inconsistent decision-making

    • Clear escalation paths for employee issues and concerns

     

    The result:
    Confidence that your business is set up correctly and not exposed to unnecessary risk.

    Decision Coverage / HR Advisory

    Best for: Owners and leaders who handle HR internally but want experienced guidance

     

    Decision coverage is designed for organizations that don’t need full fractional HR but do want peace of mind when people decisions matter.

     

    This advisory model gives you access to seasoned HR judgment so you’re not navigating employee relations, performance issues, or compliance questions alone.

     

    This support typically includes:

    • Guidance on employee relations, performance management, and compliance decisions

    • Scenario-based analysis (“If we do this, here’s what happens next”)

    • Insight into legal, operational, and people-related risk

    • Practical direction before issues escalate

     

    The result:
    Clarity and confidence in your people decisions without the cost or commitment of full HR support.

    Decision Coverage / Advanced

    Best for: Growing organizations or those with higher regulatory or people-related risk

     

    This level of decision coverage supports leaders through more complex, sensitive, or high-impact HR situations.

     

    We focus on foresight, risk awareness, and leadership-level guidance to help prevent costly missteps and protect both the business and its people.

     

    This support typically includes:

    • Second-order risk analysis and strategic foresight

    • Guidance during sensitive or escalated employee situations

    • Leadership support for ethics, compliance, and culture-related decisions

    • Prioritized advisory support when timing and clarity matter

     

    The result:
    Stronger decision-making under pressure and reduced exposure during critical moments.

    Strategic HR & Leadership Advisory

    Best for: Organizations navigating growth, change, or increased complexity

     

    This advisory engagement is designed for businesses that want proactive HR leadership not just reactive support.

     

    We partner with leadership to anticipate risk, align people practices with business goals, and support long-term organizational stability.

     

    This support typically includes:

    • Proactive risk identification and prevention

    • Strategic guidance during growth, restructuring, or change

    • Leadership alignment and decision-making frameworks

    • Ongoing advisory support tied to business priorities

     

    The result:
    A steady, experienced HR advisor supporting sustainable growth and sound leadership decisions.

    A Thoughtful, Right-Sized Approach

    Not every business needs the same level of HR support, and we won’t push you into more than you need.

     

    Our role is to help you understand:

    • Where your current risks are

    • What level of support provides real value

    • When advisory guidance makes more sense than full HR outsourcing

     

    If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll help you determine the right approach.
