The Challenge
When owners Ken and Laura took over The Colorado Floor Company, they inherited a successful family business along with responsibility for managing its HR needs. Without a dedicated internal HR resource, many of those responsibilities fell directly to the owners.
They estimated that HR administration and other operational responsibilities were consuming as much as 80% of their days, taking valuable time away from the work they most wanted to focus on: leading and growing the business.
The company also needed stronger HR infrastructure. Hiring was inconsistent, onboarding needed more structure, and compliance requirements were becoming increasingly difficult for the owners to manage on their own.
The Colorado Floor Company needed an experienced HR partner who could establish practical, compliant processes while giving the owners back time to focus on the business.
How Turning the Corner HR Helped
Turning the Corner HR began with an HR compliance audit to identify gaps, priorities, and opportunities to strengthen The Colorado Floor Company’s HR practices.
From there, Turning the Corner HR helped establish a more consistent hiring and onboarding process, including practical tools and procedures the company could use as it added employees. The team also created an employee guide to document important policies and provide employees with clearer expectations.
Turning the Corner HR also helped The Colorado Floor Company establish a PTO program that complied with Colorado requirements and supported the company with additional HR needs as they arose.
Rather than leaving the owners to manage HR issues on their own, Turning the Corner HR became an ongoing resource they could turn to for guidance, helping them spend less time navigating HR administration and more time running their business.
The Results
The Colorado Floor Company came away with stronger HR infrastructure and more consistent processes for managing its growing team. Hiring and onboarding became more organized, important policies were documented, and the owners had experienced HR support available when questions or compliance issues arose.
Just as importantly, Ken and Laura no longer had to navigate every HR responsibility on their own. With Turning the Corner HR as an ongoing resource, they could spend more of their time focusing on the business while knowing they had support for the people side of the company.
The initial engagement developed into an ongoing HR consulting relationship, with Turning the Corner HR continuing to support The Colorado Floor Company as new HR needs emerged.
