What we do
Practical HR built around how your business actually runs.
Monthly advisory retainers for teams that need steady, senior-level HR support — plus focused project work for the moments when something needs to get done quickly.
How we work
A simple, four-step engagement.
No bloated scoping docs. No hourly meter. Just a clean path from a first conversation to measurable improvement.
Discovery Call
A no-pressure conversation about what is actually happening on your team.
Scoped Proposal
A clear retainer recommendation or scoped project plan — no hourly surprises.
Focused Engagement
Assessment, investigation, coaching, or ongoing advisory work that moves quickly.
Lasting Partnership
Most clients graduate from a project into ongoing advisory retainer support.
Why operators choose S&D
A different kind of HR partner — built for high-stakes operations.
Senior-level expertise, hands-on engagement, and the discipline operators expect.
Practical Playbooks
Field-tested frameworks that fit how your operation actually runs — built for supervisors and managers, not legal binders.
Risk-Aware Counsel
Compliance and HR strategy at the same table. We catch the problems that turn into investigations, claims, and turnover.
Two-Partner Attention
You work directly with the founders. No junior handoff, no template-only deliverables — every engagement is built for your team.
