Outside Lead HR Solutions
HR that moves your organization forward - one gear at a time
​
At Outside Lead HR Solutions, we believe organizations thrive when people feel supported, trusted, and inspired to do their best work. We partner with nonprofits, start-ups, and mission-driven organizations to bring clarity, structure, and humanity into HR.
As a fractional HR partner, we don’t just manage processes—we become a trusted advisor who listens, learns, and works alongside leadership and staff. Our goal is simple: to create workplaces where employees are energized, managers lead with confidence, and organizations are equipped to grow sustainably.
With years of experience across HR strategy, operations, and employee engagement, we know that every organization is unique. That’s why we don’t deliver off-the-shelf solutions. We design approaches that meet you where you are, helping you build the culture, systems, and practices that unlock your mission’s full potential.
​
Our Approach
​
We guide organizations using our 3 Gear Interlock Framework - a practical, interconnected model that aligns day-to-day operations with long-term strategy. Like gears in motion, each part reinforces the other, creating lasting momentum.
​
Gear 1: Efficient Operations
This is the foundation - policies, compliance, payroll, and benefits. We make sure the basics run smoothly so your team has a trusted structure to rely on. When this gear turns consistently, employees feel secure, leaders gain peace of mind, and the organization reduces unnecessary risks.
​
Gear 2: Pathways to Performance and Growth
Here we shift from structure to growth. We build pathways for recruitment, performance management, and professional development. This gear ensures employees aren’t just filling roles—they’re learning, contributing, and seeing a future within your organization.
​
Gear 3: Unified Leadership
The final gear elevates people practices to the leadership table. We advise on culture, organizational design, equity, and long-term workforce planning. This is where HR stops being reactive and becomes a driver of mission and growth.
When these gears work together, the results are powerful: engaged employees, confident managers, and resilient organizations that are ready to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.
