Fractional HR & Business Advisory in Alberta

Businesses need different levels of HR support as they grow and change. Stoppler Hughes provides flexible Fractional HR services, from day-to-day people operations and employee relations to senior-level HR guidance. We work alongside owners and leaders to address current needs, strengthen HR practices and connect people decisions to business goals. Support is tailored to your organization and can adjust as priorities evolve, giving you experienced HR capacity without the need to hire a full-time HR leader.

Many businesses have a strategy but struggle to turn it into clear priorities and consistent execution. We work with owners and leadership teams to clarify and document strategy, communicate what it means across the organization, and define roles, accountabilities and KPIs. We help align performance management with business goals and coach leaders to set expectations, address performance and follow through. This connects business direction to the work teams deliver and gives leaders a clearer way to review progress.

When key roles remain open, leaders lose time and business plans can stall. Stoppler Hughes provides recruitment support tailored to the role and your internal capacity. Support can include clarifying role requirements, coordinating steps in the selection process and maintaining momentum through hiring. We can assist with a specific search or discuss a broader recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) arrangement for an agreed part of the process. The scope is set around your hiring needs and the level of support you require.

When a workplace concern is raised, employers need a fair, timely and well-documented process. Stoppler Hughes conducts workplace investigations based on the circumstances and issues involved. We help define the questions to be examined, gather relevant information, speak with those involved and document findings clearly. This gives decision-makers a factual basis for determining next steps and helps the organization respond consistently. Each engagement is scoped to the situation, with attention to procedural fairness, discretion and the needs of those involved.

Some business priorities call for a defined HR project rather than ongoing support. Stoppler Hughes works with leaders to clarify the issue, agree on the intended outcome and move the work from planning into implementation. Each project is scoped around your organization’s priorities, timeline and capacity. We keep the work practical, involve the people who need to carry it forward, and connect recommendations to business goals. You get experienced HR support focused on a specific priority and a clear path to completing the work.
