How do I know if my business needs HR help?

If you’re spending time navigating employment laws, handling hiring or terminations, or resolving workplace issues on your own, it might be time for HR support. Many of our clients reach out when they:

Are hiring employees for the first time
Experience turnover or conflict
Receive a complaint or need help investigating an issue
Want to grow their team the right way while staying compliant

Are your services virtual or in-person?

Most of our services are virtual, allowing us to support clients across Washington State and beyond. We also offer in-person support for clients in the Puget Sound region, especially for trainings or complex HR situations that benefit from on-site guidance.

What makes Cascade HR different from other HR firms?

We take a hands-on, relationship-driven approach to HR. You won’t get a cookie-cutter solution — we take the time to learn about your business, understand your values, and build a compliant, people-centered HR system that fits your goals. As a woman-owned business, we bring experience across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

Can you help us with church-specific HR issues?

Yes! We understand the unique needs of faith-based organizations. From pastoral employment contracts to navigating employment law for ministries, we provide respectful, legally-sound HR support for churches and religious nonprofits.

Why is Cascade HR a good fit for small businesses?

Unlike big-box HR services that rely on corporate jargon, we focus on the real needs of growing teams, lean operations, and mission-driven work. Our clients include:

Family-run businesses
Startups and growing companies
Faith-based organizations
Community nonprofits
Trade services and local shops

We understand how tight resources can be, and we help you make the most of them, while staying compliant and building a healthy workplace culture.
