YOUR BUSINESS HAS GROWN...
...BUT HAVE YOUR PEOPLE SYSTEMS KEPT UP?
When roles, teams, locations, and expectations change but your people systems don't, the consequences show up in turnover, inconsistent performance, recurring employee issues, compliance exposure, and preventable risk.
We help people-dependent service businesses align their HR infrastructure and people systems with how the organization operates today.
OUR EXPERTISE HAS BEEN FEATURED IN:
Where Outdated People Systems Begin to Show...
Policies No Longer Reflect How Work Happens
Your workforce, locations, roles, or service model have changed, but employees are still working within expectations and processes created for an earlier version of the business.
HR Operates in Reaction Mode
Immediate requests, documentation, compliance needs, and employee issues leave little capacity to examine how the organization’s people practices work together.
Similar Situations Produce Different Decisions
Attendance, performance, conduct, flexibility, and employee concerns are handled differently depending on the manager, department, or location.
Accountability is Hard to Enforce Consistently
Roles, decision authority, performance expectations, and escalation paths are not clear enough to support reliable follow-through across the organization.
Leadership Keeps Revisiting the Same People Problems
The names and circumstances may change, but recurring workforce issues continue consuming leadership time because the underlying system has not been addressed.
Exployees Experience Gaps in the Employee Lifecycle
Hiring, onboarding, feedback, development, recognition, and issue resolution do not operate as a connected experience, weakening trust and retention over time.
These aren't isolated HR issues but signs that your organization’s people infrastructure needs to be realigned with the business as it operates today.
Outdated people systems create operational consequences.
PREVENTABLE WORKFORCE RISK
Inconsistent documentation, unclear accountability, outdated practices, and uneven application of expectations increase exposure.
UNRELIABLE EXECUTION
When departments and locations interpret expectations differently, service quality and operational consistency suffer.
EMPLOYEE TRUST & RETENTION WEAKENED
Employees are less likely to remain engaged when expectations, feedback, advancement, recognition, and issue resolution depend on where they work or who manages them.
Your people systems should be designed around how your business actually operates.
We connect operational friction to the HR practices behind it, then redesign the systems affecting risk, performance, retention, and leadership capacity.

RETAIN CRITICAL TALENT

Why Work with Our Firm?
Hi, I'm Kenyetta! I’ve Been Inside The Problems You're Facing.
I've worked with organizations where leadership roles were unclear, accountability was inconsistent, managers lacked confidence, and owners became the default problem-solvers.
My approach combines human resources, organizational development, leadership infrastructure, and practical operating systems to reduce the friction that appears when growing. Before founding Simmons HR & Talent Advisory, I spent 13+ years leading org development, HR, and leadership initiatives at some of the most mission-driven, people-powered companies out there, including Zendesk, Elevance Health, SGMC Health, the University of Georgia, and Onshore Outsourcing.
