HR In The House, a leading provider of concierge HR services, offers a range of personalized support for businesses looking to optimize their Human Resources processes. With a growing clientele, HR In The House needed a solution to centralize its operations and enhance its “white-glove” services. By using StartingPoint, the firm streamlined its workflows, enhanced transparency, and developed a scalable approach to managing customer onboarding, policy evaluation, documentation creation, and ongoing support.

Challenges

As HR In The House continued to expand, maintaining high-quality, individualized services became more complex. To meet clients’ HR needs effectively, the firm identified several key operational challenges:

  1. Standardizing Workflow Across Services: Each client required a tailored approach to onboarding, HR evaluations, and ongoing support. HR In The House needed a way to standardize these processes to maintain consistency while accommodating unique client needs.
  2. Task and Project Management: With multiple consultants managing distinct aspects of HR service delivery, it was challenging to monitor each consultant’s tasks, track project statuses, and coordinate activities seamlessly.
  3. Centralized Information for Employee Support: HR In The House also provides ongoing support for the employees of their clients, which required a central hub where information could be stored, accessed, and updated by team members as needed.
  4. Transparency and Visibility: As the firm’s founder, Natalie Henriquez needed an overview of all ongoing projects and client interactions to ensure service quality and maintain HR In The House’s high standards.

Without a consolidated system, HR In The House struggled with workflow visibility, information accessibility, and task standardization.
