Strategic HR Leadership with Missouri Roots
The HR Easy Button - for businesses ready to lead with clarity, structure, and confidence.
No band-aids. No guesswork.
We partner with business owners and leadership teams to build people systems that protect the business, align the team, and support sustainable growth — without unnecessary complexity.
Built for Businesses at a Real Inflection Point
Salt & Light Advisors works with small to mid-sized organizations who have outgrown reactive HR and need experienced leadership at the table.
This work is best suited for businesses that:
Are growing or changing quickly
Feel exposed to people or compliance risk
Have an internal HR or operations role that needs direction
Want clear decisions, not more information
If you’re looking for templates without leadership, we’re not the right fit.
If you’re ready for clarity and structure, you’re in the right place.
How We Help Organizations Move Forward
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all HR.
Every engagement is designed to bring clarity first — then support execution in the right container.
1. HR & LEADERSHIP INTENSIVES
Clarity in days, not months
Focused, time-bound experiences designed to assess risk, surface priorities, and create a clear path forward.
Common uses:
HR audits and leadership diagnostics
Foundations intensives
Strategic planning and reset sessions
These intensives often serve as the first step before ongoing advisory.

2. FRACTIONAL HR ADVISORY
Strategic leadership without the full-time hire
For organizations that need ongoing HR leadership, we offer fractional advisory partnerships.
Your internal team handles day-to-day execution.
We provide strategy, prioritization, and experienced guidance.
Available tiers:
Core
Growth
Transform
Fractional partnerships are intentionally capped to protect depth, quality, and trust.

3. HR IN A BOX
HR in a Box was created to support internal HR coordinators and office managers with foundational training and tools.
This program is currently in its final cycle and is no longer the primary entry point for working with Salt & Light Advisors, with the final session concluding in July of 2026.
Organizations entering today typically begin with an intensive or advisory engagement.
