How many employees does my company need to have in order to receive help with HR services?
We work with companies of all sizes – from small start-ups with only a few employees, all the way to multi-billion-dollar firms. No project is too small nor to large for Flex HR. We engage many different levels of HR support to your organization.
How many consultants will be servicing my company?
Usually we have one dedicated consultant assisting your need(s). However, on large support projects we have the ability to expand our subject matter experts, placing a dedicated resource on each function needing simultaneous action.
What makes Flex HR different from a traditional HR department?
HR departments in small to mid-size businesses have a difficult scalability dilemma. We’ve heard numerous stories from companies that goes something like this: They hire a HR manager thinking it was the right step to take, when in fact that person could not support the organization due to lack of skill level. They went on to hire a VP-level individual, only to see that their high-priced VP did 90% clerk level tasks, so they hired a Director and that person wants to bring in a whole new staff to do their work. It’s hard finding the right fit. Our head of HR fractional role provides the top-level person you require with the knowledge that will meet your strategic needs.
How do you work with us if we already have a designated HR manager?
70% of the organizations we work with have some sort of HR person in place. Simply put, we work with that HR representative and step into a supplemental role delivering higher expertise providing any key tools that person or function may be lacking. Our goal is to get your HR staff and compliance obligations organized and to perform more effectively and efficiently. We also mentor the staff to learn, and meet compliance standards of all the different HR functions.
What Mergers and Acquisition support can you provide?
We have completed well over 350 mergers or acquisitions. Flex HR begins with a deep due diligence audit review to assess the risk in both a stock or asset purchases. We assist in developing, managing and executing the transition plan, typically 60 days prior to through 180 days after the acquisition date. We also prepare all communication messages and work with the senior executives and any other parties that are required to explain the acquisition in ways of protecting your human capital.
What industries does Flex HR support?
We are based just outside of Atlanta, GA, but we in work nearly every industry, covering every state in the USA, plus Canada, Europe, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. See a list of industries we cover.
