HR Excellence Consulting
Our Dedicated HR Excellence Consulting Group
At HR Excellence Consulting, we're committed to delivering exceptional human resource services to businesses nationwide. With decades of combined experience working for small businesses of 100 employees or fewer, our team understands the unique challenges and opportunities that come with operating on a lean scale.
Having worn multiple hats throughout our careers, we know how to adapt quickly, think creatively, and make the most of limited staff, resources, and budgets. This hands-on background means we don’t just talk about efficiency and problem-solving—we’ve lived it. Samantha, Shayna, and I (Melissa) have each navigated the realities of small business life, from juggling operations and customer service to handling marketing, finance, and beyond. That insight allows us to bring a resourceful, solutions-focused mindset to every project.
We value relationships, communication, and getting the job done right without unnecessary complexity. If you want a partner who understands the heart and hustle of small business, you’ll find it here.
