Mumford HR

Rolling into the weekend!

We love our clients! We are so grateful for their kind words and partnerships.

Work is important, but so is what (and who) we work for. I love walking here to clear my mind, get perspective, and remember that life is about more than just business, and running an efficient business makes a difference in life. Remember to get outside, and remember what you are working for. For me, it's time with these guys.

I would like to introduce Frida and Penelope! They are very loved and spoiled rotten. I know how valuable my chickens are. Do you know how valuable a good HR partner is? If you’ve ever dealt with people problems, compliance confusion, or hiring headaches, you know that expert HR support is worth its weight in organic, free-range eggs (and let’s be real, those cost a fortune, if you can find them). Not every business needs a full-time HR leader, but every business needs the right guidance. That’s where Fractional HR Leadership comes in, giving you strategic HR support without the full-time cost. HR isn’t just about policies, it’s about keeping your business out of trouble, your employees engaged, and your processes running smoothly. If you’re not sure how HR can support your business, let’s chat! #MumfordHR

Monday Mindset: Are You Prepping or Just Bracing for Impact? Mondays hit different when you’re ready for the week instead of just surviving it. We all know the feeling: ? Walking into Monday with a game plan? Feels like you’re the CEO of life. ? Rolling in with no plan? Feels like the universe just assigned you a group project… and your partners are Monday and Chaos. Here’s the HR twist: businesses often treat HR the same way. They react instead of prepare, and that’s when things get messy. Payroll issues? Last-minute hiring panic? Employee drama brewing? It’s all avoidable with a little strategy. So whether it’s your to-do list or your HR game plan, let’s take Monday on purpose this week. What’s your #1 prep tip for a smooth start? Drop it below!

Small Businesses, We Need to Talk About HR. I get it, HR doesn’t always feel like a priority. You’re focused on growing, selling, and keeping the lights on. But here’s the thing… HR is like good WiFi. You don’t notice it when it’s working, but the second it goes down…PANIC. ? A key employee quits? Now you’re scrambling. ? A misclassified contractor? Surprise, legal fees! ? A toxic culture creeping in? Say hello to turnover. Small businesses don’t need a full-time HR person, but they do need HR. Having a strategic HR partner means you can actually prevent these fires instead of constantly putting them out. The best part? You don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s where I come in. Let’s make sure your people and your business thrive. What’s one HR challenge you didn’t see coming? HR peeps jump in with your stories!?

So much fun yesterday on Wine Wednesday with Shift Workspaces, Montana Rae and Summer Sousa! Not only did we get to enjoy some great wine, but Montana, who happens to be an excellent sommelier, taught us a thing or two about it! It got me thinking… just like wine, HR is something people don’t always realize has layers of complexity until they dive in. Sure, you could figure it out yourself, but having the right guidance helps you appreciate the nuances and avoid costly mistakes. What’s the best advice an expert has ever given you, whether about wine, business, or life? Or just share with us your favorite wine!

In both relationships and business, having the right people by your side makes all the difference. Whether it’s a life partner, a business partner, or the right team, surrounding yourself with the right people is key to success. That’s why hiring and keeping the right employees matters so much. The best teams aren’t built by accident. They are the result of intentional hiring, strong leadership, and a culture that makes people want to stay. This Valentine’s Day, I’m feeling extra grateful for my husband-my biggest supporter, my sounding board, and the one who keeps me laughing through all of life’s ups and downs. So today, I’m celebrating love in all its forms-at home, in business, and in the workplaces that truly value their people. ?? Who are you grateful for this Valentine’s Day? Tag them below and share the love! ????

Some days start with strategy. Others start with compliance questions, hiring challenges, or employee relations issues. But they all start with coffee. At Mumford HR, we’re here to help businesses navigate the people side of things—whether it’s hiring top talent, updating policies, or tackling those tricky HR situations that keep you up at night. (Hopefully, not needing too much coffee to get through the day!) What’s fueling your work today? Drop a comment below! ??

If we’ve had the chance to collaborate, whether through HR consulting, leadership development, or recruiting top talent -you know how passionate I am about making the people part of business easier and more effective. From streamlining hiring processes to navigating compliance and building stronger workplace cultures, I’m always looking to connect with businesses that could benefit from expert HR support. If you know someone who could use a fresh approach to HR-or needs help finding the right people to grow their team-I’d be grateful if you’d send them my way! Referrals mean the world to me, and there’s no better compliment than being recommended by those I’ve worked with. Thank you for being part of my network and supporting what I do! ??
