HR Companies & HR Consultants in Arvada, CO

Solvere HR is an HR consulting firm based in the Denver area. It works mainly with nonprofits and small companies. Reagan Freed, an HR executive with more than twenty years of experience, founded the firm in 2016. It serves employers that do not have a full in-house HR department, and employers that need senior-level HR help for a specific project. The firm's main goal is to help smaller organizations and mission-driven employers build better workplaces through planned people practices.

Services

The firm offers three main kinds of help. Project-based consulting deals with specific HR problems, such as setting up basic policies, improving routine processes and building staff engagement. Retained HR gives clients ongoing outsourced support through packages they can adjust. Support can be occasional help when needed, or an interim team that steps in while a company fills or replaces an HR leader. Training is offered live and through an online library of self-paced courses.

• Strategic and general HR consulting
• Retained, outsourced HR packages

Approach

Before recommending anything, Solvere HR consultants study the client organization in detail. They then build a framework suited to that client instead of using a standard template. The firm says it takes on clients of any size, structure or sector, and it stresses ethics and openness with clients. It also publishes free learning material. This includes a downloadable Colorado compliance guide and blog articles on managing performance, following employment law and preparing future leaders.

Team and Background

The team is made up of certified HR professionals. Between them they have many years of senior HR experience with local and international companies in a wide range of industries. One team member, Monica Faberman, started her career setting up HR functions for startup companies in Boston. Solvere HR combines hands-on consulting, flexible outsourced support and ready-made online courses. That mix may suit small employers and nonprofits in Colorado that want experienced HR advice without hiring a full-time HR executive.
