Our HR Consulting Services

Workforce Optimization

We position workforce optimization as a strategic initiative grounded in KPIs and business outcomes. We craft headcount strategies, run workforce analytics, and lead organizational changes to close capacity and efficiency gaps. Our RPO services streamline recruiting during intense hiring windows. We work with Colorado companies that lack visibility into headcount or are preparing for growth events like fundraising or M&A.

HRIS & HCM Implementation

We run end-to-end HRIS and HCM implementations on platforms like Rippling, HiBob, ADP Workforce Now, Workday, BambooHR, Namely, Paycom, TriNet, and others. We coordinate data migration, system integrations, and practical user training to ensure operational continuity. Our work is tailored to companies swapping platforms, abandoning spreadsheets, or consolidating systems post-acquisition. We help Colorado businesses implement systems that support growth and multi-state compliance.

Fractional HR Consulting

We deliver embedded HR support that brings strategic oversight and operational execution without permanent hires. Our services include HR strategy, compliance counsel, recruiting, employee relations, compensation benchmarking, and policy development. Fractional HR is intended for organizations of 200+ employees transitioning from informal HR to structured practices. We help Colorado businesses implement repeatable HR processes that reduce risk and improve consistency.

HR Compliance in Colorado

Compliance with employment law in Colorado is data- and workflow-intensive because paid leave, pay transparency, overtime rules, and noncompete limits stack together. The Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (HFWA) and the FAMLI paid leave program impose accrual, premium, and payroll-deduction mechanics that require HRIS configuration. Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act demands disciplined job architecture and posting governance to meet pay-transparency expectations. Recent noncompete reforms (SB 22-131 and CRS § 8-2-113) limit restrictive covenant use and require carve-outs in multi-state programs. Denver and other municipalities also layer minimum wage and local leave rules that complicate statewide payroll and scheduling setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HR consulting and HR outsourcing?

Some HR consultants provide payroll and benefits administration through partnerships or managed services, while others focus on selecting and implementing the right vendors or systems. They ensure integrations, configuration, and processes are in place for accurate, compliant administration rather than replacing an existing payroll provider without coordination.

Do HR consultants help with payroll and benefits administration?

What makes Colorado’s pay transparency laws challenging for employers?

Colorado’s pay transparency and anti-retaliation rules require clear job postings and careful compensation practices, which can be challenging to standardize across roles. Employers should implement consistent pay frameworks and update job postings and HRIS records to ensure compliance and defensible compensation decisions.

What are the implications of Colorado’s FAMLI program for employers?

Colorado’s FAMLI program requires employer participation, payroll deductions, and administrative coordination for paid family and medical leave. Employers need to integrate contributions and leave tracking into payroll and HRIS processes and update policies and staffing plans accordingly.
