At Outside Lead HR Solutions, we guide organizations using our 3 Gear Interlock Framework. Each gear represents a layer of support - turning together to keep your organization steady, growing, and ready for what’s next.

Efficient Operations
Every organization needs a strong foundation. Efficient Operations covers the essentials - policies, compliance, payroll, and benefits. We make sure the day-to-day runs smoothly so your team has the stability and trust they need to do their best work. When this gear turns consistently, leaders have peace of mind, risks are reduced, and employees feel secure in the basics.

 

Services include:

  • HR audits and policy development (employee handbooks, culture guides, compliance updates)

  • Payroll and benefits administration (including PEO vs. broker evaluations)

  • Leave and accommodation frameworks (FMLA, PFL, ADA, caregiver/parental support)

  • Employee relations support (disciplinary processes, grievance systems, investigations)

  • Compliance and risk management aligned with federal, state, and local laws

  • HRIS implementation and optimization (selecting, configuring, and streamlining HR technology)

Pathways to Performance & Growth
Once the foundation is strong, it’s time to grow. This gear is all about people - hiring the right talent, creating clear job pathways, designing performance systems, and building opportunities for development. Here, employees aren’t just showing up for a paycheck; they’re growing, contributing, and envisioning a future within your organization. That sense of possibility is what keeps teams engaged and invested.

 

Services include:

  • Recruitment and onboarding design (policies, processes, role descriptions)

  • Job-level matrices and career pathways (entry → senior → leadership roles)

  • Performance management frameworks (OKRs, KPIs, 2x2 reviews, promotions)

  • Learning and development programs (manager training, leadership coaching, team workshops)

  • Engagement strategies (pulse surveys, stay interviews, recognition programs)

  • Offboarding and exit interviews

Unified Leadership

At its strongest, leadership doesn’t just react—it anticipates. By putting people strategy on the same level as finance or operations, leaders design inclusive cultures, plan for the workforce of tomorrow, and align every decision with the organization’s mission and values. This is where leadership shifts from managing to truly leading.

 

Services include:

  • Strategic workforce planning and organizational design

  • Equity, inclusion, and belonging frameworks (policies, practices, training)

  • Compensation philosophy and structures (pay scales, merit increases, bonus frameworks)

  • Leadership coaching and advisory for executives and managers

  • Change management support for growth, restructuring, or new initiatives
