The HR Foundations Package will create
your clearly defined HR system, rooted
in best practices that will help you:
​
-
Protect your business legally and financially

Create a culture of trust and harmony in the workplace

Candice will create or update your company's employee handbook and HR policies, guide you to put them into practice and help you optimize your HR systems.
Candice is a trusted professional with more than a decade of experience using best practices that aren’t encapsulated in buying templates and forms. Stop trying to figure it all out on your own, potentially getting yourself into legal situations and work with an expert.
"It feels so good to know that I now have systems in place and all the documentation I need for everything HR. I know where it all is and how it all works and when I want to hire a new person I'll be able to hold them accountable."

What sets Fortress & Flourish Apart
Human Resources (HR) doesn’t have to be a dirty word or just a way for your company to protect itself legally.
HR can help your business thrive with happy employees who are supported both in their physical needs and in having a deep sense of fulfillment by aligning your business with equality, sustainability, and community.
In the HR Foundations Package, Candice will help you align your business with these core values, so you can both protect your company and help your business thrive with happy employees.
Equality
-
Implement a flexible, cyclical HR ecosystem rooted in company values that protects both your business and your employees with equitable policies and clear communication that makes life easier and more fulfilling for all.
Sustainability
-
Eliminate manager burnout through a clearly communicated pathway for decision-making that provides clarity about responsibilities. This increases trust and harmony in the workplace and helps eliminate decision fatigue and unintentional inequities.
Community
-
Support the thriving happiness of the people who work with you to bring them together in their shared purpose by including their feelings, feedback, and needs in transparent HR processes.

"We have a complicated mix of employees, contractors and were also expanding our company adding a whole new department when we started working with Candice. She was clear and consistent in her communication, project timeline and deliverables. I appreciated the time that she took to talk with us about our current systems to make sure that the policies fit into what we are already doing."
