You need someone at the leadership table who has done this before: built HR functions, handled the difficult conversations, steadied teams through change. We give you that person, for the decisions that matter most.
These are some of the situations clients bring to us. If one sounds familiar, or you're facing something not on this list, let's talk.
Every engagement is scoped to your situation. These are the ways clients most often begin.
A clear, independent look at where your HR stands. More than an HR audit: we review your policies, compliance, people risks and capability, then give you a prioritized roadmap your leadership team can act on right away.
A senior HR executive on your leadership team, scaled to what your business needs. Board-ready advice, hands-on delivery and a steady presence your people can trust.
We step in quickly when your HR leader leaves or a crisis hits, keep the function stable and moving, and help you hire the right permanent leader.
For organizations building HR for the first time. Policies, onboarding, performance, records and compliance, set up properly and sized for where you are going.
Ongoing mentoring and coaching for your HR lead or team. We share senior judgment, sharpen their skills and help them grow into bigger roles, so your HR capability keeps building after we step back.
A candid conversation about what's happening, what's at stake and what good looks like for you.
We look at the facts, talk to the right people and tell you plainly what we see.
We roll up our sleeves alongside your leaders, with clear milestones and no surprises.
We build your team's capability so the change holds long after we step back.
You work directly with our principals, supported by specialists from the CECai Collective when your work calls for it.
Meet the teamA fractional engagement typically costs a fraction of a full-time senior HR executive's salary, benefits and recruiting fees, because you pay only for the support you use. We scope a monthly retainer to your size and priorities and adjust it as you grow.
For interim leadership we can usually be working with you within days. Fractional retainers typically start within two weeks of our first conversation.
Yes. Our team has supported employee and labour relations in unionized municipal, industrial and public sector environments, including collective agreement interpretation, grievances and sensitive workplace matters.
No. Most often we lead and develop the people you have. We act as their senior leader and coach, take on the strategic and high-risk work, and help them grow into bigger roles.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. Tell us what's happening in your organization and we'll tell you honestly how we can help, or who can.
