Stop the guessing. Start with a real plan.

Let's get your small to medium-sized business out of HR overwhelm and protect your business and your sanity!

Stay Compliant

Navigate Tricky Situations

Finally Feel in Control of your HR

Handling HR without training is stressful, risky, and overwhelming. And yet here you are.

HR wasn’t in your job description,

but now you’re the one everyone turns to.

No training. No time. Big responsibility. And somehow, you’re making it work (even if it’s secretly overwhelming).

But that doesn't mean you have to figure it all out alone.

Is “just figuring it out” no longer cutting it when it comes to HR?

HR Nightmare

I’m constantly on edge, worried about compliance issues, employee drama, and legal risks. I need real HR systems that actually work and help me sleep at night.

HR Guessing Game

I’ve never had formal HR training…I’m Googling policies and hoping I don’t mess up. I need clear, confident guidance from someone who knows what they’re doing.

Patchwork Processes

We’ve pieced together handbooks, hiring practices, and documentation over the years, but nothing is consistent. I need HR systems that make sense, scale, and don’t fall apart when things get tough.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Whether you're drowning in compliance or just tired of guessing,

we bring structure and clarity to help you lead HR with confidence

Our Solutions

We help those in charge of HR go from overwhelmed to organized in 3 ways

HR Frameworks That Take the Guesswork Out of People Management

Hiring, onboarding, time-off tracking, write-ups, terminations… it’s a lot.


And if you're relying on Google, guesswork, or outdated templates, the risk grows fast.

Our HR Frameworks give you clear, simple processes for every stage of the employee lifecycle, from hiring to termination and everything in between, so you can finally stop winging it and start leading with confidence.

  • Plug-and-play HR processes for each phase of employment — onboarding, training, corrective action, exits, and more

  • Essential forms and templates (that make you look like you've been doing this for years)

  • Step-by-step guidance so you know what to do, when to do it, and what to document along the way

  • Compliance support baked right in — so you can stop worrying about what you might be missing

Whether you’ve been in business for two months or twenty years, having the right frameworks in place gives you more than peace of mind, it gives you your time back.

Custom Handbooks That Actually Work.

Let’s take “update the handbook” off your to-do list for good

No more guessing. No more duct-taped templates. Just a compliant, customized handbook that reflects the way you actually run your business.

Here’s whats included:

  • A fully customized employee handbook tailored to your business, team size, and state

  • Federal + state compliance built right in — including multi-state options if you need them

  • Policies you understand and feel confident using (we cut the legal jargon — unless you love that sort of thing)

  • Final files delivered in editable formats, so you can update as you grow

Ready to finally get this handled?

Let’s build a handbook you can be proud of — and one your business can rely on.

No More Guessing. No More Googling. The HR Hotline.

HR support, just a phone call or email away.

You dont go to work to become an HR expert — and now, you don’t have to pretend to be one either.

With the HR Hotline, you’ve got reliable, real-time HR support in your back pocket.

  • When something feels off...

  • When you need to make the right call but want a second opinion...

  • When Google and AI just leaves you more confused than when you started...

You get:

  • Real HR advice from real HR pros

  • Peace of mind knowing you’re not in this alone

Having employees is hard enough. HR shouldn’t be the thing that keeps you up at night.

Success Stories

We didn’t have clear job descriptions or an employee handbook, and we had questions around the employment laws for the different states our employees live in and what we need to comply with, until HR Made Simple came along. They checked out what we were doing and gave us a clear plan that fit what we needed. Now, our HR is on track, and we’re feeling way more confident knowing we can call them anytime!

Annette Rhodes

Attorney, Estate Planning

Jennifer was amazing and very adaptive to my situation. I had a new veterinary clinic opening 4 months early with no time left to work out my HR processes. Jennifer walked me through the steps needed to ensure I was starting out my new business in the right direction. She also put together a compliant employee handbook for me. I can not thank her enough and highly recommend her services!

Jason DeGroff

Managing Partner

Discovering the 'HR Made Simple' provided the support we needed allowing us to talk through the situations, ask our questions, understand the risks inherent to our unique challenges, and ultimately, make well-informed decisions.

The transformation set us in the direction we were looking for in our tight knit group. In addition, we also took advantage of their coaching packages for two of our team members, who underwent coaching, and the improvement in their performance and self-leadership was nothing short of remarkable.

HR Made Simple along with its coaching package have revolutionized our operations.
