We want to change the way businesses think and increase their focus on their employees.

We firmly believe that people practices are an integral part of any business, resulting in great products and services. We want to help businesses develop the best solutions to manage their people by ensuring the appropriate systems are in place to attract, guide, and develop employees to be successful.

Quality. Having high standards of work helps us strive to put out the best product possible. We want to provide that "wow” factor no matter how we are helping our clients.

Customer-Focus. We always keep the end-user in mind when developing solutions. Our clients and their employees will see the benefit when their customers are happier, their reputation grows, and they are closing more business.

Differentiation. One size does not fit all. Different businesses and the stages they are in require different solutions. We look to tailor the right solutions for your business.

Confidentiality. How you operate gives you a competitive edge. When dealing with a Human Resources Consultant, companies share a lot of sensitive information. We respect our clients’ rights to not have their information made public knowledge.

Collaboration. We cannot do this alone. Building a solid strategy to give you the best results requires teamwork. By working as a team, we are enriched with new perspectives, which help optimize the best solutions.

Continuous Evaluation. Our work is never done. We are always researching the best practices in the industry. What works today may be great, but what we can do for you tomorrow can be even better. We must constantly evaluate what we are doing and be willing to try something new.

Embrace HR Solutions applies a 5-step approach to all projects.

Step 1: Needs Assessment. We meet with key stakeholders in the organization to determine what needs to be accomplished and to clarify any questions. We set expectations about the work to be performed and scheduling of milestones. 

Step 2: Research. We examine the industry’s best practices related to the project at-hand. Based on this, we put together recommendations for forward-thinking and practical solutions, tailored to the organization. We lay this out clearly to ensure stakeholders understand the proposed solutions.

Step 3: Client Review. We meet again with key stakeholders to discuss the proposed solutions to be implemented. We work together with our clients to make necessary adjustments based on feedback through this review process until agreement is reached. 

Step 4: Implementation. Solutions are professionally developed to expectations. Either in partnership with members of the organization or solely by the Embrace HR Solutions team, solutions are rolled-out to specific departments or company-wide.

Step 5: Evaluation. Feedback is gathered to measure the effectiveness of the solution implementation, surveying all key stakeholders and employees. Discussions are sought ensure client satisfaction. Following this, dates are set to discuss re-evaluation of the implemented solution.

Embrace HR Solutions serves a wide variety of organizations. We are ideal for small businesses (200 employees or less), who are experiencing or expecting to experience high growth and are expanding their workforce, as a result. Many times we are hired to put out existing fires, but we want to take a proactive approach to prevent them to begin with. We look to assist clients who want to build comprehensive human resources strategies and deploy effective implementations to enable their businesses to continue to get bigger.

Clients tend to look for our services when they:

• require coaching to be provided to an existing team within the Human Resources department;

• want help developing the capacity of individuals performing Human Resources roles;

• are overwhelmed with Human Resources projects and call for assistance;

• have no Human Resources department and need this function performed; and/or

• necessitate expertise in an area that needs to be strengthened.
