At Adaptiva HR, we believe small and medium-sized businesses should have access to strategic and functional HR services. Effective Human Resource practices help to create and maintain healthy, thriving places to work. Our approach is individualized, holistic, and timely.
What We Do
Strategic Human Resource Services
We partner with you to understand the human resource needs of your organization. We find out what exists and is working well and also what parts of the HR structure need attention. With over 15 years in the field of HR and Organizational consultation, we provide experienced guidance on:
- Development and implementation of crucial employment policies and practices
- Performance management systems
- Staffing structure
- Compensation philosophy and practices
- Integration of diversity, equity and inclusion practices
- Employee relations and engagement
- Evaluation and implementation of benefits
Functional Human Resource Services
You are busy doing the things that need to be done for your organization. Our focus is just on your HR needs. Functional HR support means we do the tasks you do not have time to do. This can include:
- Creating job descriptions
- Updating (or creating) an employee handbook
- Managing the recruitment process
- Ensuring compliance with State and Federal employment regulations
- Creating tools to use for performance management
- Supporting investigation into a suspected policy violation
- Conducting employee engagement interviews or surveys and/or exit interviews
We focus on building relationships with our business clients, ensuring that HR strategy and its implementation are integrated, not “tacked on” to how your organization currently operates. Through intentionally monitoring and addressing your HR needs, you help to ensure the people at your organization are supported so they can do their best and be their best.

Who We Help
We can (and do!) work with a wide range of businesses and non-profit organizations. Most often we work with employers that have one or more of the following circumstances:
- Owner-operated small businesses
- Business owners/Office Managers who are also “doing HR” for the company
- When the “HR person” has little or no experience with employment law compliance
- Businesses that have assigned HR functions to whoever handles finances internally
- Organizations that are growing and struggling to keep up with HR compliance and best practices
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it like working with an Adaptiva HR consultant?
Human. Resource. Professional. That is exactly what you can expect from Adaptiva HR support. We are local, real people. We have knowledge, skills, and connections to help with all manner of employee and employment needs. Exemplary customer service is woven into all aspects of how we work with our business clients. We provide timely and comprehensive assistance. If you call with a need, expect us to ask questions to fully understand what is happening before providing guidance. Expect us to work with you, not for you.
Can you help with recruiting and hiring?
Yes! In fact, we LOVE doing this! Many businesses are stuck in the “doing the same thing and expecting different results” rut of recruiting. We have developed a great process that not only helps you approach recruiting, hiring, and onboarding from new angles, it also gives you a roadmap to follow for every time you need to hire. Subscription clients can make this one of their HR priorities for us and businesses without a subscription can hire us for this specific need.
An employee has raised a concern about harassment, what do I do?
If an employee reports a concern about harassment (or if you even suspect that it is happening) you must take action. Regardless of the size of your organization or who is involved, there should be internal processes in place for handling these situations. Employees do not have to put their claim in writing for you to act. Many managers mistakenly believe that without a formal report they do not have to (or cannot) take action. Investigating harassment claims can be confusing and daunting…contact us right away, we can help.
How much does it cost to hire Adaptiva HR?
We try to make this part simple and flexible. You have two choices…you can engage with us as a Subscription or a Defined Scope Project client. Contact us for current rate information.
As a small business we are sensitive to the budgetary constraints of other small businesses. We give a lot of consideration to our fees so our services are financially accessible to as many businesses and organizations as possible. We also are professionals with extensive training and experience. We encourage small and medium-sized businesses to think of working with us as an investment that helps their organization be a healthy, productive, thriving place to work.
Whether it’s counseling our HR team or our individual employees, Jenn and her team have done a top-notch job. Truly confidential, highly professional, prompt and caring service is what we’ve come to expect. I highly recommend them to any business or organization. To be able to have professional solid advice from an outside party beyond your organization is invaluable.
