I'm a Canadian HR Consultant with extensive startup, management & internal communications experience. I've over 20 yrs of working with Canadian and international clients in tech, VR, home-health care, marketing, professional services, manufacturing, logistics, construction, healthcare, direct to consumer products & many others. I'm comfortable working with business owners or CEOs & don't mind if there is startup chaos! In fact, I'm really good at coming into a startup with no HR and employee communications and taking the company to the next level with compliance, staffing, retention, culture, productivity & profitability. Client Testimonials: "Joan provided straight up, no-nonsense advice on our situation. It was exactly what we needed." "Joan was amazing. A first-rate professional." "Thank you so much.

" "Thank you so much for this and providing simple to understand and well-structured documents" "Joan is fantastic to work with! She completes everything quickly and with impressive attention to detail. Her well-thought-out options make decision-making easy, and she ensures that compliance is a breeze. I highly recommend her as one of the best consultants I have worked with!" "I am really excited about how this is shaping up. I'm impressed by your process, follow-up, and detailed work, and I wish all consultants worked in this manner. This project has been very successful in gaining awareness of what this location needs, and I am beyond thankful. I look forward to delivering it to the team."
