Situation
An environmental services company had a small, but mighty HR team. With day-to-day work and special projects, the HR manager had too many things on her plate. The company decided to bring in some Salo muscle to cover the day-to-day corporate HR responsibilities, so the HR manager could focus on other initiatives.
Solution
What started as a 3-6-month interim role, became a dynamic year-and-a-half engagement. The HR team quickly realized what an experienced Salo expert could bring to the table. And, when COVID hit, it was all hands on deck. Our consultant became a total utility player, helping the HR team navigate departures, new hires, COVID processes, and more.
In addition to being the day-to-day HR point of contact for the corporate employees, she also helped with special projects such as:
- Setting up the company’s employee intranet
- Partnering with leadership/c-suite on people strategy
- Leading an employee engagement survey/follow-up process
- Facilitating the transition to work-from-home during COVID
- Starting an employee culture committee
Impact
The client says they wouldn’t have made it through the past two years without our consultant. The project required a well-rounded HR leader who could partner with the c-suite one day and dig into the weeds the next. Luckily, this consultant was the perfect blend of scrappy and strategic to help the client accomplish their goals.
The main objective was to support day-to-day operations and tackle project work. Our Salo expert accomplished both. While she originally intended to bridge the gap until the client could hire a permanent resource; she wound up making a significant, lasting impact on the client organization.
