The REHR Method:Redefine. Rebuild. Reinforce.
Why Re-HR?
Most small businesses don’t actually have “HR” —
they have payroll, some forms, and a lot of improvised decisions.
That’s why problems keep coming back:
-
hiring is reactive and rushed
-
conflicts drag on or explode
-
documentation is incomplete or missing
-
compliance feels scary and confusing
-
owners spend more and more time dealing with people issues
Adding more HR tasks or tools doesn’t fix this.
You don’t need extra paperwork — you need to Re-HR.
REHR uses a simple but powerful three-step method:
Redefine HR → Rebuild HR → Reinforce HR
Redefine
Before we touch any process or document, we start with how you think about HR.
For many owners, HR = admin, forms, payroll, or “dealing with employees when something happens.”
That mindset guarantees chaos.
We help you redefine HR as a business function that:
-
protects the company from avoidable risk
-
creates structure and clarity for everyone
-
supports managers in making better decisions
-
keeps the team stable, fair, and aligned
-
frees the owner from day-to-day people problems
What happens in the Redefine phase?
-
We review how HR decisions are currently made
-
We map out who is actually doing HR work today (and where it’s breaking)
-
We align with ownership on what HR should own in your business
-
We set clear priorities: what must be fixed first, and what can wait
Redefine is about seeing your business clearly.
If we don’t change the way HR is understood, any new system will eventually fail.
Rebuild
Once HR is correctly defined, we rebuild your HR foundation from the ground up.
This is where REHR goes beyond “consulting” and actually builds the system for you.
In the Rebuild phase, we typically work on:
-
Policies & rules
Clear, practical policies that your managers can actually use. -
Hiring & onboarding
Simple, repeatable steps so every new hire is handled the right way. -
Documentation & records
Contracts, forms, write-ups, and files organized so you’re protected. -
Scheduling & staffing structure
Roles, levels, and coverage that match how the business really runs. -
Compliance basics
Keeping you aligned with core labor and employment requirements in your state. -
Owner & manager guidance
How to handle recurring situations: lateness, performance, conflict, requests, terminations.
We don’t just hand you a stack of templates.
We customize and install a working HR system around how your business actually operates.
Rebuild is about giving you the HR system you never had —
one that can run every day without you staying on top of every detail.
Reinforce
Even the best HR system will collapse if it isn’t maintained.
That’s why the third step of the REHR method is Reinforce —
keeping the system alive, consistent, and respected.
In the Reinforce phase, REHR helps you:
-
apply your policies consistently, case after case
-
document issues properly so you’re protected if something escalates
-
coach managers on how to handle day-to-day people problems
-
review key decisions before they become expensive mistakes
-
close gaps as your business grows or laws change
Most owners have seen this pattern:
Day 1–30: everyone follows the new rules
Day 60–90: shortcuts creep in
Day 120+: you’re back to improvising again
Reinforce is how we stop that from happening.
We help you stay disciplined, so the system you rebuilt doesn’t quietly fall apart.
What Re-HR Feels Like for a business owners
When the REHR method is working, owners usually describe it like this:
-
“People issues no longer hijack my entire day.”
-
“We have rules now — and we actually follow them.”
-
“I know what to do when something happens, instead of guessing.”
-
“I’m not scared of compliance anymore.”
-
“HR finally feels like part of how we run the business, not a pile of emergencies.”
That’s the outcome of Redefine → Rebuild → Reinforce working together.
Where You Come In
You don’t have to design the system yourself.
Your role is to:
-
be honest about what’s really happening today
-
decide what kind of company you want to build
-
support us when we put structure and discipline in place
REHR handles the rest.
Ready to Re-HR Your Business?
If your current “HR” feels like:
-
guessing
-
reacting
-
pushing paperwork
-
hoping nothing goes wrong
then it’s time to Re-HR.
