Fractional Human Resources

You might think we are inclined to overestimate the value (and timing) of HR for a small- to medium-sized organization. Fair enough. That’s why we’ve come up with “fractional HR” as terminology to explain our “bias” (a.k.a. passion) a different way.
Change is impatient but it happens at a different pace for everyone. We get that which is why we bring the right level of support at exactly the right time. Never too early or too late. Fractional HR anticipates your rapidly evolving needs while prioritizing the most pressing issues first.

Our fractional HR services create affordable options for mitigating risks and accessing expertise, otherwise found only in larger organizations. We welcome questions or discussions with scaling companies or nonprofits who are wondering when to add an HR function.

Are you ready to Unleash People Energy™ in your team?

Start a Conversation

More minds, more better. Because different people are good at different things.

Because the needed expertise doesn’t all reside in one person, full-stack HR provides you with a team of well-suited expert collaborators. 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.
At Performentor, we assemble small teams to support you so that you get the best of both worlds: a range of expertise to help with people practices challenges and a reasonable cost for your smaller size . Your dedicated team consists of professionals with varying levels of HR expertise, credentialed behavior scientists and organizational behavior experts.
And, because our operating principles dictate that we “become ‘we’ with our clients,” we are very different from typical consulting firms. We become part of your team and focus on putting your vision in place for those predictable challenges based on headcount.

Small Investment, Big Return

Performentor was created and designed to be entrepreneur friendly. When you want to grow at a healthy pace for years to come (think long term vs. short term), you don’t stop planning when you get to your 10th, 20th or 100th employee. Intuitively, you already know that the ways in which your team interacts as the number of team members increases have predictable themes.
That’s why we work to make a big difference in a short amount of time!

Through our own research, we have confirmed your instinct. We’ve found that there are key similarities in the challenges and decision points businesses face when they reach certain employee-count levels. These transitions are critical turning points for your company; transitions that will challenge management, cohesiveness and your ability to set and meet goals.

See What Our Clients Have to Say

_________________________
I have been partnering with Performentor for 5+ years to support Laxton’s nonprofit clients. Performentor continues to bring retained and just-in-time human resource and employee relations support solutions to me and my clients – from reviewing/improving existing policies and practices to serving as a thought-partner for our CEOs.

Wendy Laxton
 Founder and President
Laxton CFO Services

Performentor’s support for me, our executive team and mid level managers here has been phenomenal. They have helped free up our time so we can truly focus on core business activities which is SUCH an opportunity gain. Not only did we gain access to a huge knowledge base in Performentor’s full stack and fractional team, we gained time internally needed to handle other pressing issues.

“A rising tide lifts all boats.” “I would liken this to when you bring in a new entity such as a new employee who is a star performer. When you bring in an entity who is just a bit further ahead on their path, they elevate everything else around them. Engaging Performentor has elevated everything we do related to people.”

Kim Janzen
President and CEO
SPCA of Wake County

I have always gotten the level of support needed. I will forever sing Performentor’s praises and I am not easily satisfied. When I pay for a certain level of service, I expect that level of service. They have always given me what I needed.

Executive Director at Nevins
