Testimonials

I’ve been utilizing Melanie’s HR superpowers for the last 3 years with my small business that started with zero employees and now scaling in a very healthy, ethical, and compliant fashion thanks to her excellent guidance.  I am great at swinging a hammer, but not excited at all about paperwork, small details or extra stress that I am not qualified for nor interested in dealing with.  Partnering with Melanie has enabled me to focus on why I started my business in the first place and fully dive into my passion.  I used to spend long hours after my workday dealing with worker’s compensation, payroll, employee relations, etc. which was taking away precious time with my wife and small children.  No request that I have thrown at her has been too big or too small.  Melanie is eager to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions that I really appreciate.  I can now proudly say that I have an amazing work/life balance where I am able to run a very profitable business and enjoy time with my family thanks to Melanie.

“I really can't put into words how grateful I am for Melanie.  I've been in the workforce a long time, but was never taught how to negotiate and really advocate for myself.  I accepted the pay for my current position not really knowing EVERYTHING that was going to be required of me.  I love my job and what I do, so I kept soaking everything up and learning.  A year later and my boss only wanted to give me, what I felt, was a slight raise.  Melanie helped me get pumped up and prepared to advocate for myself and get the pay I deserve.  I ended up with a 30% pay raise thanks to her guidance and coaching.  I really don't know what I would do without her.  Thank you Melanie, from the bottom of my heart.  If you're not utilizing her to assist you in ANY matter related to HR, what are you waiting for?  She truly is my hero!”

“In my entire career, Melanie has brought the most value and people-connection, care, and human interaction to a team that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She has a heart for humans that I’d never experienced from HR before I was introduced to and had the opportunity to work with and be supported by Melanie. She made our company feel like a family, brought us together for opportunities for our work/life balance, coached me through her custom made Caring Leadership program, and helped to make me the caring and professional leader I am today. She won’t sugar coat the truth and she will hold employees accountable, but listens before she speaks. She is a real HR Superhero. Through her actions and her matching words, Melanie proves daily that HR and the humans of the workplace are her heart! Thank you, Melanie!

Not only does she care about employees and strengthening employee-company relationships, she fully understands her department and can explain complexities of HR in a way that employees can understand when issues arise or when clarification is needed. Melanie truly cares about the well-being of employees and will work tirelessly within the organization to improve and elevate the work culture. In conclusion, she is an absolute joy to work with and I highly recommend her for any HR issue.”

Melanie treats people like assets and not liabilities. She genuinely cares about the people around her not because of a job description, but because that’s the kind of person Melanie is. On a professional level, Melanie takes jobs and tasks seriously and gets it done. People like Melanie are few and far between.”
