Wichita and remote HR consulting
Ongoing HR guidance and leadership for employers whose people needs have outgrown an owner-managed process. Based in Wichita, with remote consulting available.
Discuss your projectFractional HR is useful when employee relations, manager questions, policies, and workforce planning need recurring attention, but the organization is not ready to hire a full-time HR leader. It can also support an existing administrator who needs experienced guidance.
We define the responsibilities, availability, meetings, and project capacity before the engagement begins. The client retains employment decisions and assigns an internal contact for records, approvals, and implementation.
Fractional HR leadership
Monthly engagements provide consistent access, defined leadership support, and a scalable alternative to immediately hiring a full-time HR executive.
Planning estimate: 8–10 hours per month
For owners who need an experienced sounding board and guidance for an internal HR administrator.
Planning estimate: 15–20 hours per month
For employers who need recurring coordination, manager support, and progress on defined HR priorities.
Planning estimate: 25–40 hours per month
For growing organizations that need ongoing HR direction and leadership across connected workforce systems.
Planning estimate: 45–65 hours per month
For organizations that need executive people strategy, organizational planning, and senior leadership partnership.
Hours are planning estimates, not guaranteed package allowances. Your written proposal confirms included capacity, meeting time, priorities, response expectations, and any additional work before the engagement begins.
Your first steps
Share employee count, locations, current HR responsibilities, and the recurring issues taking up leadership time.
Discuss your needs →If priorities are unclear, begin with the $1,500 HR and Workforce Infrastructure Assessment for a written roadmap. If needs are defined, we can scope support directly.
Explore the assessment →Confirm responsibilities, monthly capacity, meeting cadence, response expectations, and first implementation priorities in a written proposal.
Compare monthly options →Choose a focused consulting project when you need a defined output such as a handbook or onboarding process. Fractional HR provides recurring leadership support. A PEO offers a different service model that may include payroll, benefits, and co-employment arrangements; Holt’s consulting engagement does not itself create a PEO relationship.

Relevant leadership experience
The founder’s prior leadership work connected performance reviews, staffing, onboarding, engagement, and manager accountability. Fractional support applies that operating perspective to a defined recurring scope.
These examples come from the founder’s prior employed leadership roles, rather than Holt client engagements. Reported outcomes reflect wider implementation and operating conditions; future results vary.

Holt offers Fractional HR Advisor at $2,000 per month, Manager at $3,500, Director at $5,000–$7,500, and Chief People Officer at $8,000–$12,000. The written proposal confirms responsibilities, monthly capacity, meetings, and response expectations.
The Manager level includes biweekly meetings, employee relations guidance, recruiting support, project oversight, and compliance support within an agreed scope. Plan around 15–20 hours per month; this is a planning estimate rather than a guaranteed allowance or unlimited access.
Yes. Fractional support can provide experienced guidance to an internal HR administrator or team. We clarify who owns daily administration, manager questions, approvals, records, and projects so responsibilities are coordinated.
An assessment is the recommended starting point when priorities or risks are unclear. The $1,500 assessment provides a written roadmap. When needs are already defined, we can scope recurring support directly.
No. Fractional HR provides the leadership and support specified in your agreement. Payroll processing, software fees, and projects beyond the agreed capacity are not automatically included; additional work requires a defined scope and fee.
Illustrative Manager-level month: prepare for a biweekly leadership meeting, review a defined set of employee-relations questions, guide one agreed priority project, and report open items. Work is prioritized within the agreed capacity. A handbook rewrite, direct investigation, recruiting campaign, or major system implementation may require a separate project.
Leadership supplies timely facts, approves employment decisions, names an internal coordinator, and assigns implementation owners. The proposal sets communication channels, response expectations, recurring meetings, and how urgent or excess work is handled.
Review completed priorities, unresolved risks, manager follow-through, and agreed workforce measures. Meeting frequency is an input; usable decisions and completed changes are the purpose.
