Our most popular service is simply our availability.

If you find yourself spending your precious time dealing with aggravating employee management situations, give us a call. Let our HR pros—including the H.R. Guy himself, Ian Schotanus—be your trusted and unbiased advisors to help you tackle challenging employee interactions. 

Calling on The Big Picture Consulting removes any emotional bias you're bring to the situation, so we can help you resolve employee-related challenges effectively and compliantly. 

Best of all, we work with residential services providers every day, so an issue that's new and surprising to you could be a problem we help businesses solve every week! 

With your ongoing Retainer account you get UNLIMITED access to our assistance! Even if you don't have a Retainer account, you can schedule a one-off employee management call to get advice on an urgent situation. Visit the Contact page to get in touch.

Want to find out where your business stands? To help, we offer each client a personalized Employee Life Cycle Consultation. During this 30- to 60-minute discussion, we cover a comprehensive review of your company (including your employee journey from hiring to firing) to help you identify and address compliance vulnerabilities so you can run your business with greater peace of mind. 

Owning a residential service company is hard. Not only do you deal with typical business-owner responsibilities, you also have unique compliance challenges. Without the proper knowledge, your company is vulnerable to compliance issues that can cost you... big time. Let us help you find these risks before they get you into trouble.

Compliant documents are critically important for consistency, clarity, and employee accountability. We provide you with a full set of HR documents and templates (tailored to your state!) that you can simply pick up and use to run your business. We can also review and/or create any others you need, including:

• New hire
• Disciplinary
• Employee termination
• Property return
• Financial responsibility
• Onboarding packets
• … And more!

Your employee handbook is the cornerstone of your operation. Our pros can review and update your existing handbook, or work with you to create one from scratch! 

We offer a one-on-one consultation to learn about your business, get context on critical policy decisions, and create a custom handbook to help you manage your team. While your business decisions are yours alone to make, we'll offer recommendations based on industry best practices to help with recruiting and employee retention. Your personalized handbook will meet all state and industry regulations, and help you run your business smoothly. 

Ever wonder if management issues are holding your company back? Feel like you're stuck in reactive mode, jumping from one employee emergency to another?

While you may be working with a business coach to become a better business owner, The Big Picture Consulting aims to make you a better employer. Instead of putting a band-aid on an employee problem, our management training sessions take you deeper into the root cause and provide ongoing solutions, like resources for proper training. 

We present monthly training sessions to Retainer clients on a variety of topics, including how to handle recruiting, terminations, compensation plans, company culture, employee accountability, and much more. You can attend these virtual sessions live or access recordings at your convenience.
