What Our Clients Say
“Empower People Ops are honest, fair, and extremely knowledgeable. They are always there when we need them, and genuinely care about our people and our success. Partnering with Empower People Ops has been great, and we highly recommend them.”
— Mary Beth Smith, Chief Financial Officer, Immense Networks
“I partnered with Tiffany and Empower People Ops to hire for a brand new role that had never existed at our company. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Tiffany was highly responsive, thoughtful, and made what could have been a complex search feel seamless and well managed.
Beyond leading an effective recruiting process, Tiffany brought real strategic value. She proactively recommended improvements to the job description and offered insightful guidance on how to position the role to attract the right caliber of candidates. Her expertise and partnership were evident throughout.
I highly recommend Empower People Ops to any organization looking for a strategic, responsive, and results driven recruiting partner.”
— Grant Chenevert, Director of Client Success and Business Development, Immense Networks
“Scaling our company incredibly quickly without a dedicated in-house Human Resources & People Operations team could get incredibly messy, but Empower People Ops has made it feel so much more manageable. Tiffany’s team has focused on our recruiting and hiring efforts, and revamping our handbook for a multi-state team, all while tackling the weird, one-off questions that pop up along the way.
It’s hard to explain how valuable it has been to have a people operations partner who just gets it. The Empower People Ops team has played a huge role in helping our company grow without slowing us down.”
— Tara Rummer, Director, Community & Ecosystems, ImmyBot

Your Questions, Answered
How can you help my business?
HR compliance, risk mitigation, audits, employee handbooks, policy development, employee relations & investigations, hiring/recruitment, onboarding, performance management, manager training & leadership coaching, HR infrastructure setup (or cleanup), and terminations and sensitive situations that no one else wants to deal with. We can do it all.
Can you help with compliance across multiple states or Canada?
Yep. We support multi-state U.S. employers and Canadian employers, helping clients navigate location-specific employment laws.
Is Empower People Ops more affordable than hiring an internal HR person?
For most small and mid-sized businesses, yes. Fractional and hourly HR provides senior-level expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. But if we aren’t the more affordable option, we will be completely honest and upfront with you.
What does onboarding look like for new clients?
We start with a complimentary Discovery Call, followed by a quick HR assessment. From there, we create a prioritized plan tailored to your business.
Will you work directly with employees or just leadership?
Both. Depending on your engagement, we can support leadership, managers, and employees directly, and always aligned with your culture and goals.
Do you act as our HR department?
We can function as your HR department, completely embedded within your organization down to a company email and Slack/Teams account. We can also just provide strategic support alongside existing HR or operations teams - the beauty of fractional HR is it is completely customizable to fit your unique team.
Will you help us build a people-first culture, not just policies?
That’s the point. Compliance keeps you safe; culture keeps your people engaged. We focus on both.
How do we know if we’re ready for your help?
Are you asking questions like:
“Are we compliant?”
“What’s an Employee Handbook?”
“You mean each state has its own set of laws completely separate from federally mandated law?”
“My employees are leaving left and right, and I don’t know why and it makes me want to cry.”
Let's Chat!
Ready to accelerate your growth?
We begin with sending you an HR assessment, and then schedule a no-cost, one-hour Discovery Call to understand your team, your challenges, and where you want to go. After the call, we’ll recommend the right HR support and outline clear next steps. No pressure, no obligation, and a lot less WTF.
