HR Companies & HR Consultants in Wasilla, AK

HR Simple AK is a human resources consultancy in Wasilla, Alaska. It works with two groups: employers who need outside HR help, and individual workers who want private advice about a problem at their job. The firm brings more than three decades of HR work across public, private and tribal organizations. It describes its model as fractional, meaning businesses get experienced HR guidance without the cost of putting a full-time HR manager on staff.

Who It Serves

Its employer clients cover a wide range of sizes and stages. They include owners who handle personnel matters themselves, nonprofits that are growing but have no internal HR team, and established companies whose compliance practices need updating.

The consultancy also helps businesses hiring their first staff, firms adding structure during fast growth, and organizations that want to modernize their existing practices. Although it is based in Alaska, the firm says it knows employment rules and workforce conditions in many regions and industries, and it applies that knowledge to each client's state and local requirements.

Services for Employers

• Neutral third-party help with workplace disputes, including calming tensions and finding the root cause
• Discreet investigations of serious complaints, documented so they will stand up to review
• Handling overlapping FMLA, ADA and state leave obligations
• Performance improvement plans and carefully documented terminations
• Compliance reviews against state and federal employment law
• Policies that match how the company actually operates

The firm stresses prevention. It would rather work with an employer before a problem grows, while still being ready to step in once an issue has started. Its approach to discipline and separation relies on consistent steps, written records and respectful treatment of the employee.

How Engagements Begin

New business clients can book a free 30-minute introductory call, which is not offered for individual consultations. The process has three steps. First, the consultant learns how the business runs and where it is having trouble. Next, she identifies the most urgent HR gaps. Finally, both sides decide whether fractional support suits the client's budget and pace.

Support for Individuals

Employees and people between jobs can get private advice about their rights, coworker conflicts, difficult conversations, harassment or discrimination, ethics concerns, discipline or performance issues, and how to read company policies. The firm promises discretion, a judgment-free setting, practical advice rather than theory, and candid feedback about each person's situation.

Background

The practice is led by HR professional Wendy Yow. Client testimonials on the website describe her clear communication, her focus on integrity, and her effort to stay current as employment law changes. One reviewer says they have worked with her on and off for eighteen years. For buyers, the firm's main strengths are its experience with tribal and public organizations as well as private businesses, and the fact that it serves both employers and individual employees.
