Employee Relations Relief + Interim Support
Employee Relations support when the work cannot wait for the perfect hire.
Experienced ER capacity for organizations that are recruiting, absorbing more case volume, covering a leave, or still deciding what the permanent structure should look like.
The HRER works directly with your organization as an independent contractor, so you get flexible ER capacity without going through a staffing agency.
Let's Talk See what support can includeHow it can work
- Flexible hourly, interim and project based support available.
- Remote, hybrid and onsite engagements available.
- Travel available when needed.
- You work directly with The HRER. No staffing agency in between.
When this is the right call
The cases keep coming whether the seat is filled or not.
The search for the right ER hire can take months. A leave can start next week. A return to office, a restructuring, or a stretch of fast growth can raise case volume before anyone approves headcount. The work still needs someone who has done it before.
- You are recruiting for an ER role and the caseload cannot sit
- Case volume is up and the team is behind
- Someone on the ER or HR team is going on leave
- A return to office, restructuring, or growth is driving more cases and accommodation requests
- You are still deciding what the permanent ER structure should look like

Let's TalkHow it runs
We can step in, do the work, build what is missing and leave your team better equipped to manage what comes next.
Let's talk
Thirty minutes on what is open, what is urgent, and where you need coverage.
Step in
Access, intake, and a handoff of open matters. Then the live work starts.
Stabilize
Cases move, managers get answers, documentation stays current, and leadership gets a regular read on trends.
Transition
The work goes to your permanent hire or internal owner with open matters documented and a clean handoff.
When the same gaps keep producing the same cases
We can build what is missing while we cover the work.
Interim support often shows where the process is thin: intake, escalation, documentation, the leave and accommodation workflow. The HRER can build those pieces, create the tools, and train your team to run them.
