What is HR?
What do they do anyway?

Spoiler: It’s not just paperwork and policies.

HR gets a bad rap -some see it as the rule enforcer, the compliance cop, or the team that hands out a binder and a pizza party. But real HR? It’s way more than that.

 

At Mumford HR, we believe HR has two sides, and both matter:

⚖️ Compliance HR

This the foundation. It’s the stuff that keeps your business out of hot water

  • Employee handbooks, policies, and documentation

  • Labor law compliance (federal, state, and those sneaky local ones)

  • Hiring and termination done right

  • Employee relations and investigations

  • HR audits (aka HR Checkups)

 

It’s not flashy, but it’s critical.

⚙️ Administrative HR

Paperwork isn’t exciting, but it matters, and we use technology for that now.

  • Benefits administration support (from setup to open enrollment)

  • Payroll vendor coordination (and fixing those weird deductions)

  • HR system selection and implementation (so you’re not stuck in Excel hell)

  • Process streamlining to save you time and avoid dropped balls

  • Leave tracking, time off policies, and that one PTO request from 2021

📈 Strategic HR

This is where the magic happens.
Strategic HR is about aligning your people with your business goals.

  • Hiring the right people (and keeping them)

  • Onboarding that builds loyalty, not just checklists

  • Leadership coaching for owners and managers

  • Growth planning, so your team scales smart, not messy

  • Employee development and performance tools that aren’t a waste of time

  • Building a culture that actually supports your values

  • Driving growth through better leadership, communication, and clarity

Coaching managers to become better leaders? That’s HR.


Creating space for employees to thrive and stay? That’s HR.

Helping you grow without burning out your people? Still HR.
