Handbook builds
A new year is the natural moment to draft, review and republish the employee handbook.
A year of HR, handled.
Handbooks, onboarding, training, leave, pay and interim leadership — laid out month by month, the way a Vermont year actually runs. Take a single project off the menu, or keep us on retainer from January to December.

Retainers
For employers who would rather not hold the whole calendar in their head. We keep the seasons and bring the work to you before it is due.
Plan the first
One seasonal project each month, plus a standing line to us for everything in between.
Plan the second
Everything in the monthly plan, with interim HR direction and the annual cycles carried for you.
Both plans begin with a short call about your year — what is coming, and what has been waiting.
The HR forecast
Patterns we see across Burlington workplaces, season after season. Read it the way you would read the sky over the lake.
Begin
Tell us what is waiting — a handbook that has not been touched in years, a training date slipping past, an onboarding that never quite took. We will tell you which month it belongs in and what it takes.
