What is fractional HR?

Fractional HR gives your business access to experienced, part-time HR leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Instead of paying a six-figure salary for a full-time HR director, you get senior-level HR expertise on a flexible, as-needed basis. People4People connects businesses with fractional HR professionals who handle compliance, recruiting, employee relations, and more.

What is a fractional CHRO?

A fractional CHRO is a part-time Chief Human Resources Officer who provides senior HR leadership to companies that cannot afford or do not need a full-time executive. A fractional CHRO handles HR strategy, compliance, employee relations, and organizational development on a flexible schedule. People4People provides fractional CHRO services nationwide.

How much does fractional HR cost?

The cost of fractional HR varies based on the scope of work, the size of your company, and the level of expertise needed. In general, fractional HR costs significantly less than hiring a full-time HR professional — often a fraction of a six-figure salary.
