While we’re here to support you with anything under the People & Culture umbrella, our most commonly asked questions revolve around employee performance and terminations and navigating changes in employment standards to stay up to date.

Hiring a full-time in-house HR professional or retaining the services of a lawyer will cost you tens of thousands of dollars each year. While you may need the services of a lawyer from time to time to handle especially complex situations, most HR questions are routine and well within the scope of our team’s expertise and experience. Beacon HR services will save you time and money in the long run while providing you with sound advice, reducing risk and setting you up for success.

See What Our Clients Say
Since 2017, hundreds of Canadian businesses have trusted us with their key strategic initiatives and with their people.
“Beacon’s AskHR has been a perfect solution for my small business! We don’t yet have a huge need for HR, so this allows us access to Beacon’s wonderful team for questions, strategy and little fires that happen. Great monthly price point too! It’s sort of like having a business coach that specializes in HR and people solutions!”
- Erika Weissenborn, Founder of Fresh in your Fridge
“I can't say enough great things about Beacon HR. They are knowledgeable, professionally, efficient and reliable. I had an ongoing HR issue within my business that my employment lawyer was not able to help me resolve. Beacon HR was able to help me solve the problem through one simple email. I simply sent them an email stating my question and I promptly got a response from them. I highly recommend their email subscription service to all business owners.”
- Veronica Gomes, Co-Founder at Emme Hair
“We don’t have a dedicated in-house human resources person right now since we don’t have too many needs at the moment. It’s just really nice to have this HR subscription in case we ever have questions on best practices! Nicole and her team are really wonderful to work with!”
- Angela Tang, Chief of Staff at Alpha Foods
