Built by Operators. Focused on Results.
Stratum Labor Consulting exists to close the space between people and policy. Work is not a spreadsheet. Compliance is not a stack of papers. Both are promises to be kept. We are here to help leaders keep those promises with clarity and care.
We are a bench of operators who have lived the work. Our consultants have hired and onboarded at scale, led investigations, written policies that stand up to review, and built systems that teams can trust. We come from nonprofits, healthcare, government funded programs, and growing private companies. We know the pressure, the deadlines, and the standards that do not bend.
Our belief is simple. Good HR should make a place feel calmer, safer, and more accountable. Policies should be clear. Files should be clean. Conversations should be honest. When those things happen, people do their best work and organizations stay ready for whatever arrives.
Our way of working is direct. We listen first. We map the problem. We set a path that people can follow. Then we do the work and leave behind tools that last. Training, documentation, and habits that your team can keep long after we are gone.
What makes us different is follow through. We do not hand you a binder and wish you luck. We build, implement, and coach until the change sticks. We support employers who want strong, compliant teams. We also guide employees who need a clear plan through hard moments in their careers. Both sides deserve fairness and facts.
If you want advice that becomes action, and action that holds up, meet the people behind the work.
