Frequently Asked Questions

What types of business do you typically support?

I support both small and mid-sized businesses. Companies with fewer than 10 employees often use my services on an ad hoc basis for policy writing, recruiting, difficult conversations, and team training.

 

For companies with 11-29 employees, I typically work on a retained basis for 1-3 months, focusing on handbook development, recruiting, and retention strategies.

 

Businesses with 30-150 employees usually sign multi-month contracts to develop recruiting and retention systems and to train management on these processes.

How do you structure your engagements?

Small businesses are billed at a half-hour rate, billed weekly. Mid-sized companies usually engage via retained contracts with 50% upfront and the rest upon project completion. Multi-month contracts are billed at the start of each month.

How would you describe your role and collaboration with internal teams?

I act as a leadership coach, guiding management teams to develop effective, compassionate communication skills. I observe, model, and tweak processes to ensure steady results, often incorporating studies on human communication to enhance gut instinct and decision-making.

Who is your main point of contact, and what are their credentials?

Daava Mills, Principal Consultant at FloatHR, brings over 20 years of HR experience. She previously held SPHR and SHRM-SCP certifications. She is an active member of TroopHR and attends various industry and non-profit events to stay current and deepen her insights.

How do you ensure quality and accountability across multiple clients?

I maintain regular check-ins and stay accessible via phone and email. I also schedule ‘white space’ between appointments to catch up and provide my clients with ongoing support, acting as a sounding board and cheerleader.
