About HR Building Blocks
HR Building Blocks exists to support small businesses and nonprofits — especially in rural communities — who don’t have an HR department but still want to do right by their people.
After nearly two decades working in corporate HR, I saw a pattern again and again: small business owners were expected to figure out HR on their own, without the tools, support, or clarity larger organizations take for granted.
So HR Building Blocks was built differently.
We provide practical, plain-language HR support that actually works in real workplaces — not corporate theory, not unnecessary complexity, and not cookie-cutter solutions. Just steady guidance, simple systems, and trusted advice you can use right away.
Whether you’re hiring your first employee, managing a growing team, or trying to stay compliant without losing sleep, we help you build strong HR foundations — brick by brick.
Our Services
At HR Building Blocks, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support your organization’s growth and success.
Practical HR Guidance for Small Businesses
You get real-world HR advice that fits your business… not overengineered strategies. We help you make smart people decisions that support your goals and your day-to-day reality.
Compliance Without the Panic
We help you understand what’s required, what actually matters, and how to stay compliant, so you can stop worrying about “getting in trouble” and focus on running your business.
People Problems & Day-to-Day HR Support
We help you navigate real employee issues — conversations, conflict, performance concerns, and engagement challenges — with calm, practical guidance that protects both your people and your business.
Leadership & Supervisor Support
We help supervisors and leaders build confidence, communicate clearly, and handle people situations effectively, even if leadership wasn’t part of the original job description.
Hiring & Recruiting Support
From job postings to interviews to onboarding, we help you hire the right people and set them up for success, without wasting time or making costly hiring mistakes.
Planning for Growth (Without the Guessing)
Whether you’re growing, restructuring, or planning for leadership changes, we help you think ahead so you’re not caught off guard when transitions happen
Building Healthy, Functional Teams
We help you strengthen how your team works together; improving communication, clarity, accountability, and trust so your business can grow without constant friction.
HR Basics: Policies, Handbooks & Documentation
We create clear, easy-to-understand HR documents — employee handbooks, policies, and procedures — that make expectations clear and keep you legally protected without corporate fluff.
What Sets Us Apart
I don’t believe small businesses need corporate HR solutions to succeed. That belief is what shapes how we work.
With nearly two decades of HR experience, we understand both sides — how HR works in large organizations and how it actually needs to work in small businesses and nonprofits. That perspective allows us to translate complex HR requirements into practical, real-world solutions that make sense for your team.
We focus on clarity over complexity, guidance over jargon, and steady progress over perfection. Our approach is personal, flexible, and built around how small teams truly operate, especially in rural communities.
We’re not here to overwhelm you with policies or buzzwords. We’re here to help you build strong foundations, support your people, and move forward with confidence, brick by brick.
Let’s Connect
If you’re not sure where to start with HR, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Whether you have a quick question or need ongoing support, I’m happy to talk through what’s going on and see how I can help you build a solid HR foundation. Get in touch with us to learn more about our services and how we can support your organization’s growth.
