Missouri-Based Strategic HR Consulting

Your HR Easy Button.
A Clear Path Forward.

We help small and midsize businesses build compliant, people-first workplaces - without the overwhelm.

The Salt & Light Approach

Every business begins with HR in a Box.

From there, we guide you into deeper support if you need it.

Step 1: HR in a Box (Start Here)

  • What it is: A group-style, community-based program with plug-and-play HR systems, templates, and ongoing support.

  • Why it matters: It’s the most cost-effective way for small and midsize businesses to stay compliant, confident, and people-first.

Step 2: HR Audit (If You Need More)

  • What it is: A diagnostic deep dive into your HR practices, compliance, and culture.

  • Why it matters: Shows you exactly what’s working, what’s missing, and where to focus next.

Step 3: Fractional HR Partnerships

  • What it is: Ongoing, strategic HR partnership after HR in a Box + Audit.

  • Why it matters: You don’t have to navigate complex HR decisions alone. With a fractional partner, you gain an experienced advisor who helps you solve personnel challenges, lead with confidence, and keep your business moving forward.
