The Leader in HR Strategy

Organizations are continuously looking for effective talent acquisition and retention strategies in the current labor market. Often, the initial thought revolves around building a talent pipeline by establishing relationships with local colleges and creating internship programs. Despite being an excellent method, it does not ensure complete success.

A leading professional HR consulting services firm, HerrinHR takes a holistic approach to this challenge and focuses on the employee experience throughout the employee lifecycle. It determines the gaps in talent management strategies, finds areas to optimize them, and implements programs to help create great workplaces. HerrinHR strives to align clients’ HR strategies with their business objectives and desired outcomes. This prioritization of what will move the needle forward and help clients create a competitive advantage is key.

“Our goal is to help clients stay on top of the regulatory changes by providing them with updated information and showing how they are expected to impact their business, along with strategies for organizational performance and optimization,” says Mallory Herrin, CEO and Principal HR Consultant of HerrinHR.

HerrinHR’s à la carte offerings include HR consulting, recruiting (it follows a unique model to make the service less cost prohibitive and more accessible to small businesses), customized training on HR topics, management and leadership skills, employee benefits, and fractional HR leadership. It also has a complete Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) offering through a joint venture, which combines HR consulting with a robust HRIS system, payroll processing, benefits administration, and more.

For both the service and methodology, HerrinHR provides strategic planning and development and the tactical items that support the implementation and success of strategies. It starts with an in-depth analysis, focusing on clients’ business, industry, competitors, customers, and short- and long-term plans to gain an immersive understanding of each client. Then, it assesses and analyses their HR practices within all functional areas of HR.

“We conduct environmental scans, GAP analysis, and more to determine clients’ strengths and weaknesses, then forecast challenges they may face in the near and long term, and what needs to be done in terms of the people to achieve their overall goals,” says Herrin.

For instance, a client wanted to professionalize their organization in all facets, starting with retooling their mission, vision, and values. HerrinHR created programs that implemented these throughout the employee life cycle, including talent acquisition, onboarding, performance management, total rewards, and safety. This allowed them to bridge the divide between management and employees by giving employees a voice and following through on their commitments. It has helped them become a real contender for labor in their area while raising the bar for internal and external service, resulting in improved customer relations, sales, and profits.

These instances of client success are a testament to HerrinHR’s focus on creating a competitive advantage for clients and ensuring employer compliance. Its mission is driven by doing so in a way that shapes positive work environments for employees.

HerrinHR firmly believes doing this not only works to the benefit of employers but makes a profound difference in the lives of employees. When you are set up for success and have the opportunity to grow your skills and abilities, it results in increased confidence and self-esteem. This carries into other areas of life and works to help people become more of who they are and their highest selves.

HerrinHR is focused on creating meaningful results for employers. Whenever there is an opportunity to create a positive work environment, it never leaves a stone unturned to help clients achieve that.
