HR Support for Small Businesses

Our approach blends strategy, compliance, culture, and coaching, supported by a team that acts as an extension of your organization.

You need HR support, but you’re not sure where to focus your efforts and investment to have the most impact. Our people and culture audit process takes the guesswork out of strategic HR planning by looking at every element of the employee life cycle objectively.
This audit is ideal for small businesses seeking clear, prioritized HR solutions without guessing where to begin.

Reimagine Work supports our clients with practical, tailored culture guides that act as positive “culture messengers”, reflecting your employer voice and brand.

WorkSafe BC requires employers to have policies and procedures in place to prevent and address incidents of bullying and harassment in the workplace. This training is required to be updated and/or reviewed every year. Are you up-to-date?
This is a foundational HR requirement for Canadian organizations and helps ensure your workplace meets WorkSafeBC and national standards.

Regular compensation reviews are an important tool for ensuring that an organization’s compensation packages are competitive, aligned with business goals, and based on fair, objective, and consistently applied criteria.
A strong compensation strategy helps Canadian businesses stay competitive while supporting fairness, retention, and growth.

Performance Management
A solid performance management process helps improve performance, increase motivation and engagement, support informed decision-making, and lead to increased productivity for both the employee and the organization.
360 Reviews
A 360-degree performance evaluation process collects feedback from multiple sources, including managers, peers, direct reports, and the employee themselves, to provide a well-rounded assessment of an individual's performance.
Current, well-structured performance systems help small businesses develop leaders, improve accountability, and retain talent.

Disgruntled and unhappy team members can wreak havoc on your work culture. Employee surveys provide a platform for employees to anonymously voice their concerns and opinions about the workplace, offering insight into your organization that no other tool can match.
Employee surveys are an essential HR solution for small businesses that want to strengthen culture using insight, not guesswork.

Strong health and safety practices are a core expectation for Canadian workplaces and protect both your people and your business.

As a leader, job descriptions are crucial for effective management of your team. They serve as the foundation for strong recruitment, compensation, and development activities, and help you clearly communicate expectations, responsibilities, and goals.
Clear, accurate job descriptions support recruitment, compensation, and employee success, especially for growing teams.
-
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) is crucial for any organization's success, and its importance has only increased in recent years. Our comprehensive EDIB audit looks at your company's current people and culture practices through an EDIB lens. We identify what's working well, areas where you can improve, and recommend changes to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace that truly champions EDIB in ways that align best practices and your values.
Our EDIB audit supports Canadian organizations in building inclusive workplaces grounded in meaningful action, not checklists.
