Frequently Asked Questions

What is project-based HR support?

Project-based HR support provides specialized HR expertise for a specific initiative, challenge, or business goal. Unlike ongoing HR support, these engagements have a defined scope, timeline, and deliverables, allowing you to get the expertise you need without committing to a long-term HR partnership.

What types of HR projects can Empowered Hospitality help with?

We support a wide range of HR projects, including employee handbook updates, HR audits, compliance reviews, HRIS selection and implementation, policy development, onboarding programs, training initiatives, compensation projects, organizational design, and people strategy.

How does project-based HR support work?

We start by understanding your goals, current processes, timeline, and desired outcome. From there, we define the scope of work, deliverables, and timeline before our team begins the project. We then work with your team through completion and provide the tools, recommendations, or systems needed to move forward.

How is project-based HR support different from on-demand HR support?

Project-based HR support is designed around a specific initiative with a defined scope, timeline, and deliverable. On-demand HR support is more flexible and is designed for businesses that need HR expertise as questions or issues arise. If you have a specific project you need completed, project-based support may be the better fit.

How is project-based HR support different from outsourced HR?

Outsourced HR provides ongoing HR support and acts as an extension of your internal team. Project-based HR support is focused on completing a specific initiative or solving a defined challenge. Once the project is complete, the engagement can end unless additional support is needed.

Can you help with a project our internal HR team is already managing?

Absolutely. Project-based support can supplement an existing HR team when you need additional expertise, resources, or capacity. We can take ownership of a specific initiative or work alongside your team to help complete a project.

Can you help with an HR audit or compliance review?

Yes. We can conduct HR audits and compliance reviews to identify gaps, risks, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement. Depending on your needs, we can also help develop an action plan and support implementation of the recommended changes.

Can you help implement an HRIS?

Yes. We can support HRIS projects from system selection and planning through implementation. Our team can help evaluate your needs, develop processes, coordinate implementation, and support your team as you transition to the new system.

How long does a project-based HR engagement take?

The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Some initiatives may take a few weeks, while larger projects such as HRIS implementations, organizational projects, or comprehensive HR audits may take several months. We'll establish a realistic timeline and deliverables before the project begins.

How much does project-based HR support cost?

Project-based HR support is typically scoped and priced based on the specific initiative, level of expertise required, timeline, and deliverables. After learning more about your project, we'll recommend an engagement structure that fits your goals and scope.
