All businesses, regardless of size, deserve great HR support. For many small businesses, finding good strategic and operational human resources is difficult, if not impossible. Internal hires come with a limited breadth of experience, and PEOs aren’t in a position to truly partner with clients in a way that moves the business forward. With decades of leadership experience, our HR consultants understand that, if you are trying to make a significant change in your business, the degree to which your people adopt and implement that change is the difference between success and failure.
Red Clover offers large-scale, strategic and operational Human Resources support that’s accessible to small businesses. You benefit from an integrated, cohesive team that delivers customized HR solutions and strategies for your business. Our SHRM-certified consultants come from line management positions in different functions and industries and bring a different perspective to the table, one that helps you look at your problems and goals a little differently too. At Red Clover, we’ve got your back. Contact us to learn how we can help drive your business forward.

Our Strategic Approach to HR
Red Clover offers large-scale, strategic and operational Human Resources support that’s accessible to small businesses. The goal is to put you, the client, front and center. We only accept engagements where we are convinced we can add value to your organization. We are flexible in our approach to work, which allows us to offer flexibility in the service we offer to your business. We work closely with you to meet your individual business goals, and a thorough knowledge transfer is part of every project.
The Process
Engagements begin with an evaluation of the overall business goals through our initial kickoff call. The purpose is to discuss where you would like to be in 12-18 months, the impact that people have on those goals, and what changes you would like to make to support those goals. This includes a full P&L review, with a focus on people-related revenue and expense line items. The information that comes out of that meeting is used for quarterly work planning. The work plan is reviewed during regularly scheduled meetings to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed.
From there, we work with you on an ongoing basis. We assign a consultant to manage the overall work plan and lead communications with you and your team. In addition, you will work periodically with other members of the team, either on activities that require specialist support, or to cover additional workload requirements or consultant absences.
Core Values – Yours and Ours
Core Values are arguably one of the most important cultural drivers for any business. They hold a company together and make the organization what it is. By strongly believing in your core values and bringing them to life through the daily actions that move your business forward, you create the work environment that you and your team want and deserve.
At Red Clover, our core values drive our decision-making and how we engage with you as the client and our partner.
Family First
When in a position to make the choice between work and family, family always comes first. As a result, our consultants are able to bring their whole selves, personally and professionally, to their work. Since we offer flexible work, our team is able to offer the same level of flexibility to you during the engagement.
Own It
We own the challenges that come with leadership. Every problem is our problem; we don’t point fingers or make excuses. When confronted with a challenge, our first reaction is to take responsibility to fix it. We own the work we do with you and partner with you to solve any problem that may occur during an engagement.
Got Your Back
Our job is to make your job easier. We will seek clarification or challenge you to think differently, but we don’t assume the worst or look for conflict. We may tell you something that you don’t want to hear, but the goal is to bring about the best outcome possible and help you actualize the potential for change.
Honest Counsel
As our client, you are entrusting us with your most sensitive and confidential business information. We take that responsibility seriously. We consider it a privilege to guide you and provide that direction for people strategy in the business. We strive to do our best for each other as a team and for you as the client. Your trust is tantamount to our collective success.
Get Shit Done
We are nothing else if not a team that rolls up their sleeves and digs in to deliver. We strive to deliver real, tangible results for you, every day.
