Paul Attwood – Partner

One of the challenges of operating a growing business is keeping up with Human Resource issues. Our business grew by focusing on what we are good at.

Matt Bielek – President

Just wanted to thank the H2R team for these kinds of emails. We’re a very small business but growing with 4 employees and still finishing a relocation. We wouldn’t have time or resources to do this kind of thing on our own but having this type of information flow in from our beloved outsourced HR really means a lot. I can tell you that “how long until we have to hire our own HR staff” has turned into “do we even have to hire our own HR staff?” because we really love H2R.

Fernanda Fraga – Manager, Marketing

Jackie Lauer is an experienced professional who took the time to understand our unique needs and tailored a solution to address our current challenges. Her warm personality made every session a pleasant experience, and her insights helped our team learn and grow in their roles. I highly recommend her!

Sandy V. – Deputy Fire Chief

I met Margaret about two years ago when I was in need of some guidance regarding public speaking and overall advice for leading a complex organization. I have found that Margaret is an exceptional problem solver and has a wealth of knowledge about organizational dynamics. She taught me how to ground myself when faced with difficult and uncomfortable situations. She encouraged me to look deeper at myself and search for opportunities to become a better leader. I am fortunate to have such a great coach on my side. I always look forward to discussing the next scenario with her.
