Strengthen Your Handbook

Your handbook conveys who you are as an organization – your mission, vision, values, and culture. It describes what your employees can expect of you, and what you’ll expect from them. We can bring your handbook to life, reflecting what’s unique about your business in a way that connects with your team.

Build Your Team

Recruiting, developing, and engaging the team members who are right for your company begins with a clear vision of what success looks like for those employees. By ensuring employees can bring their authentic selves to work, you’ll nurture an environment where team members feel like they’re making a difference. Let’s envision what this looks like for your organization.

Refine Your Leadership Skills

Leading is a way of treating people, a way of thinking and being that sees the potential in others and brings it to the surface. It’s about working with and through others to meet your business needs together, and providing them with a clear sense of direction and accomplishment. Together, we can enhance your skills as you develop your team.

We know what you’re thinking… Does my business even need HR? 

✔️ You’re the one doing the hiring

✔️ You pay your team members for their time and talent

✔️ Your priorities include providing your staff with benefits and a productive working environment

✔️ You want to help your team develop their skills

✔️ Assessing and rewarding performance is part of your responsibility as a leader

 

Sound familiar?

You don’t need to be an HR expert to run your business. You might even have HR processes in place already. Even so, an HR partner can help you understand what you need to do next and how, in a way that makes sense for your business.

Human Resources looks different for everyone. That's why Chrysalis HR Consulting works with each of our clients to craft a customized action plan, not push a fix-it formula. We can meet you where you are, and provide the resources and tools to get you where you want to be.

Nicole A. Norian, SPHR

 
 

With more than three decades of HR leadership experience in various organizations — public and private, small and large, new and firmly established — I bring HR expertise combined with curiosity and creativity to meet your HR needs in a way that makes sense for your organization. My goal is to be your trusted HR partner.

 

  • Throughout my career, I’ve found HR work exciting and rewarding. The synergy of a team that comes together for a shared purpose is powerful — you can feel the energy in the air.

    I understand the joys and challenges of working in mission-driven organizations: being strategic and hands-on, working with limited resources, and having a high sense of accountability to those you serve and represent.

    Being involved in my community brings me joy and a sense of purpose. I currently serve on the boards of Building Bridges of Asheville and Hanger Hall School for Girls.

    Let’s combine my passion for HR with your passion and purpose so your organization can succeed.

Client Experiences

  • Nicole was an absolute pleasure to work with on our employee handbook.

    Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, she was so helpful in getting us to drill down and address what we needed to have in place for our employees. She met with us over a period of weeks to gather information, and the finished product is comprehensive, professional, and readable. To us, she asked the important questions on some matters and gave needed information to our own questions. We have grown as a company because of her input, information, and questions.
