FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP FOR
SMEs AND STARTUPs
Running a business is hard enough without the chaos of people problems. That’s where I step in as your Franctional HR partner.
At Thrive Through HR, I work with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups to set up, fix, or transform their HR and people & culture departments. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just struggling with one piece of the puzzle in HR, I help you build systems that bring the people aspect and business closer.
Fractional HR Leadership
Many times startups, small and medium size companies don´t have HR employees who are knowlageble enough about all HR fuctions, or sometimes they don´t know how to expalnd a certain project that could be beneficial for employees. Sometimes strategy isn’t enough, and a company just needs someone to step in and get the missing peaces in HR together.
HR Fractional leadership is like borrowing a Head of People for a short, focused period like month or tree months (depending on the volume) to recreate and design something missing.
Examples:
-
Building a recruitment pipeline from scratch.
-
Running a company-wide performance review process.
-
Designing team events with a cultural theme that reinforces your values.
-
Launching wellbeing or benefit programs that match your people’s needs.
I start by understanding your values, culture, communication style, your wishes and vision. Based on all of that, I create a new project / expand it.
Companies have many different views are wishes, and I use my extended international knowledge to help them achieve the best results.
I sit down with you, review what’s already in place, and identify what’s missing or broken. Then I create a strategy designed to your company’s size, culture, and goals.
I cover the full HR / People & Culture spectrum or focus on just one category:
-
Recruitment & talent acquisition
-
Onboarding & offboarding
-
Employee engagement & satisfaction
-
Performance management
-
Wellbeing & mental health
-
Learning & development
-
Sustainability & benefits
-
Employee relations & communication
-
People analytics & metrics
-
Culture design (values, mission, communication style, team events with purpose)
-
HR is the structure (contracts, recruitment, onboarding, compliance, payroll, performance. It’s the framework that keeps your company running).
-
People & Culture is the experience (values, mission, team dynamics, engagement, wellbeing, and events that connect people to purpose. It’s what makes employees stay, grow, and thrive).
Each company needs both. One without the other means your systems run but your people are being ignored and the productivity is low, or your people love the mission but chaos kills productivity.
