Hopper Advisory Services is focused on "solving HR for small businesses". I view every relationship as unique and our solutions are completely tailored to each organization. This can range from providing on-demand HR support “as needed” (e.g., 1 day a week or 10 hours a month) to project work (e.g., reviewing / revising your "employee handbook", assessing your performance management practices, creating / updating job descriptions or performing a compensation market assessment) to a comprehensive assessment of your organization's people practices, culture and values. As a client, you can expect a high level of personal service and attention. My niche is working with small businesses, including non-profits. I define “small” as firms with up to 100 employees. I understand that no two businesses are alike, hence my solutions being tailored to your business’ unique needs. I also recognize that small businesses typically don’t have the resources to adequately develop or deploy these types of initiatives themselves, and I can fill this gap. While my clients are focused on growing their business Hopper Advisory Services can ensure that your people (your human capital) are being fully leveraged in support of your business.With over 30 years experience in HR and business, Hopper Advisory Services offers its clients exceptional consulting and tailored, affordable solutions.http://www.hopperadvisory.com/
