People-Centric, Science-Based, Custom-Fit HR Advisors

Building company culture and strong teams within your organization via strategic HR leadership.

Your HR Needs, Fulfilled

The good news is, we are not the HR police and we are more than just a handbook! We are human resource (HR) advisors-with-a-plan who provide fractional, full-stack, strategic HR opportunities.

What is Fractional, Full-Stack HR?

Your business is ever-changing and usually that change is impatient. We bring the right level of support exactly when it’s needed (fractional HR) to your organization’s rapidly evolving needs, tackling the most pressing issues first. Sometimes that looks like strategic advice from an organizational engineer, other times it’s an expert eye to resolve a hard-to-fix people problem. Because the needed expertise doesn’t all reside in one person, full-stack HR provides you with a team of well-suited expert collaborators.

Solutions for Small & Mid-Sized Businesses

10-100 Employees

Growth happens fast for small businesses! The kind of people practices support needed is constantly evolving. In HR, timing is everything. Performentor is the JIT of HR.

101-500 Employees

Is your HR group understaffed and overburdened? That’s when two heads (or two HR teams) are better than one! As trusted HR advisors, we serve as a symbiotic complement to your team.

About Us | HR Compliance, Curiosity & Company Culture

Endlessly curious about how people work and perform as individuals and in groups, we were founded by Alicia Parr. She has created a team of people scientists, entrepreneurs and business strategists who know HR mechanics really well but also get the importance of company culture when driving the growth of any organization.

Mission: Unleashing people energy in and for organizations.

We use our knowledge about compliance to support people’s performance rather than undermining it. What makes us entrepreneur-friendly is that we are human resource professionals made up of on-the-ground experts and strategic thinkers. Post triage, we help you unleash expertise, innovation, and vital energy so that you are better positioned for expansion.

People Science & The Trust Algorithm

Traditional views often see Human Resources as cost minimizers. Performentor says the people of the business ARE the business! Growing in the way you’d like to grow should not be a tradeoff between the people and the business. We help you implement “the trust algorithm” (a.k.a. the magic pixie fairy dust) to help you accomplish this.

The more accountability, authority, and capability are synced up for each and every role in an organization, the greater the trust.

Looking at the Whole (People) Picture

Trust is the foundation AND the glue. It’s the connective tissue of your organization. Why? Because the people who work for you and with you are whole people. It’s the lack of trust that costs money due to the steps you’ll take to compensate for the lack of trust (Steven Covey, author of Speed of Trust).

The same is true for how we treat you and earn your trust. Our job is to be the coach who proactively helps with seeing blindspots, providing suggestions and implementing those suggestions which you feel complement your mission.

I’ve come to rely on Kathryn and Performentor’s ability to quickly assess situations and present a series of viable solutions to pick from. Unlike many subject matter experts, Kathryn has taken the time to learn our business from the plant-floor to the boardroom. Without exaggeration, I know that working with Performentor ties directly to our bottom-line performance.

If you are serious about strategically utilizing your people and culture to differentiate and grow your business, then I highly recommend Performentor. Alicia and her team have helped Chapel Hill Tire successfully create the systems and infrastructure to more fully develop our people to scale up our business AND more fully engage our team at the same time.

Marc Pons
President at Chapel Hill Tire

As an executive in a small, venture-funded biotech firm, I appreciate the support we get from Alicia and Performentor as a sounding board for team relations, policy, and compliance. Having an expert in our corner who knows the team and our business goals is tremendously helpful and gives our CEO and I peace of mind.
