Who are we?

Crowflight Consulting has the proven experience and organization to set up and run the Just in Time HR service. We have access to highly qualified HR consultants with HR content expertise. Crowflight has delivered two pilot demonstration sessions of the Just in Time HR Service for non-profits in BC in 2014 and feedback from our clients was highly positive.

How is the service structured?

Access via phone or email (Staffed Monday – Friday): Each issue is assigned to an HR Generalist who will work with the client to assess and resolve the concern. HR Generalists log HR cases for callers and, depending on the issue, may be able to resolve matters on that first call. Resources may be available through a web portal, and coaching assistance will be offered to assure resolution to the issue. Referral to Specialist Consultants: HR Generalists working in our service refer an issue to an outside professional because resolution when it requires a specialized non-HR skill set (e.g. legal advice) or it cannot be handled within a reasonable time frame. (e.g. Facilitating a strategic planning session.) Costs for outside referrals would be negotiated by the client and the referred organizations.
