What is Fractional HR Consulting?

Fractional HR consulting means hiring an experienced HR Business Partner or Manager (CPHR-designated with a degree in Human Resources) on a fractional, part-time or project basis — built around what your business actually needs, instead of staffing a full in-house department. For small and medium-sized businesses that don’t need a full-time HR team, it gives you strategic advice, project support and ongoing HR partnership in a flexible model that scales with hiring the right people, day-to-day HR advisory, managing performance issues, custom retention strategies, leadership development and reducing legal risk, while you stay focused on growth.

Outsourced HR Solutions for Small & Growing Businesses

It’s outsourced HR designed for small businesses and growing companies: the strategic support you need, in a more cost-effective model than hiring full-time HR staff, without the overhead of a full in-house department. It’s a practical fit for businesses in Calgary and across Alberta, and for teams across Canada, that need help with recruiting and keeping good people, addressing underperformance, developing strong leaders, training teams to build the right culture and staying compliant, while leaders stay focused on growth.

Here’s how our outsourced HR support breaks down:

HR Consulting Guidance

Strategic advice that minimizes legal risk and cost, while supporting good outcomes for both your business and your employees.

HR Consulting Projects

Employee handbooks, compensation design, organizational restructuring, culture improvement, performance and discipline conversations, workplace investigations, recruitment support when you’re ready to bring on new people, and more.

Strategic HR Consulting Partnership

Long-term HR decisions — from how you attract, retain and develop employees and support workforce development, to aligning HR strategy with your growth plans and building a productive, accountable team.

Work With a Credentialed Human Resource Consultant

Our team brings a range of expertise, including professionals with degrees in Human Resources, CPHR designations, and a PhD in Psychology. This diverse combination of HR education, professional credentials, and expertise in psychology allows us to provide thoughtful, practical HR guidance tailored to the needs of each organization.

HR Is a Revenue Generator, Not an Expense

HR often gets mistaken for red tape: paperwork, policies, compliance boxes to check. At MPS, we see it differently. Strategic HR is an investment with measurable ROI, not a cost center.

We help streamline processes so decisions get made faster, and we build custom strategies aligned to how your business actually operates and grows. The result: higher productivity, clearer communication, stronger trust, and a culture that attracts and keeps good people.

Some of our small business clients, 20 employees or fewer, have added $30,000 to $60,000 in monthly revenue without hiring additional staff, often by rebuilding a culture where low trust was hurting productivity, or by giving teams training they’d never had. Companies with strong recruitment strategies see 23% higher profitability. Some of these shifts happened in as little as three months; others take longer, depending on how deep the issue runs.

For mid-sized clients, a single HR decision, restructuring a team, fixing workflows, or getting top talent into the right roles, has saved as much as $60,000. Beyond the numbers, HR done well gives you back the time to focus on growing your business instead of managing it.
