HR Companies & HR Consultants in Surprise, AZ

Revolutionary HR Consulting, often shortened to RHRC, is an Arizona firm that advises employers across the country on human resources, talent strategy and leadership development. Its clients range from small cities and state agencies to mission-focused nonprofits and private companies.

Its testimonials come from municipal leaders in Globe and Eloy, employment attorneys, chief human resources officers and a chief people officer. For buyers who want a consultant at home in both government HR and corporate settings, that mix is central to the firm.

Services

The firm sorts its work into several practice areas. Clients can hire it for a defined project or keep it on as a continuing advisor:

• Reviewing how well current HR and talent functions support business strategy, then closing the gaps it finds
• General consulting across every HR and talent management discipline
• Designing incentive pay and performance-linked rewards, either alone or as part of a total rewards plan
• Executive and leadership coaching, plus systemic coaching for whole teams
• Expert witness work in employment cases, hired by either plaintiff or defense counsel
• Redesigning HR processes and workflows to speed up transactions and make them more consistent
• A certification preparation course for HR practitioners

For litigation, RHRC pairs attorneys with a suitable expert who can assess employment practices in disputes over investigations, employee relations, performance management, wrongful dismissal and discrimination. The firm also helps organizations through major change initiatives, rebuilding workplace culture and settling workplace disputes.

Its training offer is a 13-week program that prepares candidates for the PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams and covers all core HR domains. Jack Milligan previously ran the course for more than two decades under the name HRCI Prep Class. RHRC reports that over 1,600 professionals have taken it and that participants pass at close to twice the national rate.

Approach and background

RHRC avoids templated solutions and prefers to build strategies together with each client, shaped by that organization's values and constraints. It markets two proprietary frameworks, Conscious HR™ and Conscious Talent Management™. Both aim to bring fairness, clarity and compassion into people practices while still delivering strong performance.

Chief Executive Officer LaCoya Shelton founded the company after years leading HR as a C-suite executive and has about 20 years in the field. She teaches the certification course, has served as an HR expert witness, sits on a Personnel Board of Appeals and speaks publicly on HR topics.

The firm says its wider team has more than a century of combined experience in government, business and nonprofits. The team includes Barbara Basel, an SPHR-certified coach with three decades in higher education leadership. Lori Lindseth is a certified mediator and expert witness with a master's in HR management.
