The Challenge
As a growing construction company, ElkStone Basements needed experienced HR guidance without building a large internal HR department.
With an HR department of one, staying current on changing employment laws, compliance requirements, employee issues, and recruiting challenges created significant pressure on the internal HR team.
ElkStone wanted an experienced HR partner who could provide reliable guidance, answer questions quickly, and help prevent the company from becoming reactive as HR needs became more complex.
How Turning the Corner HR Helped
Turning the Corner HR became an extension of ElkStone’s internal HR team, providing ongoing fractional HR support and experienced guidance as HR needs arose.
The team established a consistent and timely level of HR support, giving ElkStone access to experienced HR professionals who could help with employee relations, compliance questions, recruiting, policies, and other day to day HR challenges.
Turning the Corner HR also helped ElkStone strengthen HR processes and address issues proactively rather than waiting for problems to escalate. This gave the internal HR team additional expertise and capacity while allowing ElkStone to maintain its existing HR function.
The partnership provided ElkStone with the benefits of a broader HR team without having to build that expertise entirely in house.
