Running a small business means HR usually lives on the back burner until something goes wrong. I work with owners who are ready to get ahead of it. I'm Shannon Taylor, founder of Avec Coeur HR and a fractional HR consultant with 16+ years of experience, from HR Assistant through HR Director. Before going independent, I directed HR strategy for a respiratory care company with hundreds of employees across California and multiple states building compliance infrastructure, redesigning onboarding from a single day into a five-day program that new hires consistently called the best they'd ever experienced, and leading a company-wide culture initiative that reduced turnover by 70% in one year. I've also worked directly under employment law attorneys in both New York and California, which means I bring a sharper compliance lens than most HR generalists. My consulting clients are small businesses; typically 5 to 25 people who need senior-level HR without the full-time cost. Past projects include multi-state compliance documentation for a luxury transportation company, a complete recruiting system for a real estate investment firm dealing with culture fit issues, California meal waiver compliance for a multi-location service provider, and HR foundation-building for a business navigating its first difficult termination. What I deliver: Employee handbooks and policies (California-compliant, plain language) Recruiting systems: scorecards, interview guides, job descriptions Onboarding design and SOP documentation Compliance reviews and HR audits Fractional HR on retainer: ongoing support, clear deliverables, no surprises I work the same way with every client: I ask questions first, explain every recommendation, and stay involved until things actually land. HR done with you, not at you. If you're a small business owner who's been putting off the HR work you know you need, let's talk!
