Fractional HR support gives businesses access to experienced HR leadership and operational support without the cost of a full-time internal HR department. Kohn HR Advisory provides customized support based on your company’s size, structure, and current needs.

Many growing businesses reach a point where HR responsibilities become too complex or time-consuming for leadership to manage internally. If HR tasks are pulling owners, finance teams, or operations leaders away from running the business, fractional support can help create structure, reduce risk, and improve efficiency.

Fractional HR is ideal for growing businesses that need experienced HR support but are not ready to hire a full-time HR leader. We commonly support organizations experiencing growth, operational changes, compliance concerns, hiring challenges, or HR system inefficiencies.

Support may include employee relations, compliance guidance, onboarding, handbook development, HR process improvement, HRIS optimization, performance management support, payroll coordination, recruiting support, and ongoing leadership guidance. Services are customized based on business needs.

No. Fractional HR support can benefit organizations of many sizes, especially companies needing strategic HR guidance, project-based support, operational structure, or additional bandwidth during periods of growth or transition.

Both. Some clients need ongoing fractional HR partnership, while others engage us for specific projects such as compliance cleanup, handbook development, HRIS optimization, onboarding structure, or process improvements.

Absolutely. While we have deep roots in the startup and mission-driven sectors, our expertise is designed for any growing business or internal HR team looking for strategic depth. We thrive on partnering with organizations that are ready to move from “foundational” HR to high-performance people operations.

We are proud to be platform-agnostic. Because we don’t accept vendor commissions, our only priority is finding the solution that best fits your specific budget, headcount, and growth goals.

Yes, we can manage that entire journey with you. We provide full-spectrum support, including vendor audits, requirement mapping, implementation project management, and data migration. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible for your team.

We certainly can. Many clients partner with us to “fine-tune” systems that were implemented in a rush. We audit your current workflows, resolve data inconsistencies, and reconfigure your settings so the system finally works the way you originally intended.

We make the leap to digital simple and secure. We guide you through the entire Digital Transformation process, identifying which manual tasks can be automated to save you time. By moving your records into a scalable HRIS, we help you reduce administrative risk and improve data accuracy across the board.

Yes. While system-specific training is typically provided by the HRIS vendor, Kohn HR Advisory coordinates and supports the implementation and training process to help ensure a smooth transition for your team. We assist with training rollout, employee communication, troubleshooting support, and supplemental materials. Most modern HRIS platforms provide video-based learning resources, and we help organize and launch those tools in a way that is practical and easy for employees to follow. 

Yes, we specialize in managing these critical transitions. We oversee the move between payroll providers to ensure that tax filings are accurate, historical data is preserved, and—most importantly—your employees are paid correctly and on time throughout the change.

We’ll help you find the right “Next Step.” Every business has its own pace. We can help you implement the essential HR foundations and manual best practices that protect your business today, while building a roadmap for a tech upgrade whenever you’re ready.
