— ABOUT MERIDIAN HR
HR expertise that understands
the full picture.
Meridian HR Consulting was founded on a simple belief: small and mid-size businesses deserve the same quality of HR leadership that Fortune 500 companies have — without the overhead.
With a Master's degree in Human Resources and Employment Law and deep hands-on experience in employee relations, corrective action, and workplace investigations, we bring legal fluency and operational experience to every engagement.
“Most small businesses are one bad termination, one harassment complaint, or one missing policy away from a very expensive problem. We exist to make sure that never happens.”
