Helping associations navigate HR solutions with precision.
At GPS Consulting, we’re on a mission to make human resources more effective, more human, and a whole lot more impactful for non-profits, associations, and small businesses.
Whether you’re leading a mission-driven non-profit, a professional association, or a growing SMB, we know your people are your greatest asset. But we also know that steering through the complexities—from strategy and employee relations to the ever-shifting winds of compliance—can feel like a lot to handle.
That’s where we come in.

We provide tailored HR navigation designed to help you scale your mission and stay on course. What really sets our team apart?

GPS’s Core Principle
Goal-Oriented. People-Focused. Strategy-Driven.
Too often, HR focuses on compliance and processes rather than genuine engagement and growth. Our goal is to transform HR from a transactional function into a strategic engine for culture, connection, and performance.
Through consulting, interim leadership, and tailored strategies, we partner with you to design workplaces where people excel and leaders lead with clarity and confidence.
"When people succeed, organizations succeed."
A Little HR Humor (Because Why Not?)
HR doesn’t have to be all spreadsheets and stern emails! Think of us as your official HR GPS. We help you navigate the twists and turns of compliance and culture without that annoying, robotic “recalculating” voice.
We’re here to make your HR journey smoother, more human, and—honestly—a bit more fun.
After all, if you’re not enjoying the ride, you’re probably in the wrong lane!

Fractional HR Leadership
Your Short-Term Co-Pilots for the Journey Ahead
Not every organization needs a full-time HR executive, but every organization does need executive-level HR thinking.
With our fractional leadership, we join your team as high-level co-pilots on a part-time or recurring basis. We don't just "check in"; we integrate into your leadership team to manage strategy, mentor your existing staff, and ensure your HR roadmap is always pointing north.
It’s all the strategic horsepower you need to scale your mission, without the full-time C-suite price tag.

Interim HR Management
The Bridge Navigators Through Leadership Transitions
When a key HR leader departs or takes a leave of absence, the last thing you want is for your organizational culture to start drifting off-course.
Our team steps in as "Bridge Navigators" to provide immediate stability and professional oversight. We keep the daily HR engine running smoothly, manage active projects, and even help you prep the terrain for your next permanent hire.
We make sure that "recalculating" period is seamless, so your team doesn't miss a beat (or a paycheck).

Specialized Expedition Guides for Specific Terrain
Sometimes you aren’t looking for a long-term co-pilot; you just need a guide to get you through a particularly rocky patch of terrain.
Whether it’s a total overhaul of your employee handbook, a deep-dive compensation study, or a compliance audit that’s been hovering like a storm cloud, we provide the specialized charts and tools to get it done.
We swoop in, execute the mission with precision, and leave you with a clear path forward and a better-equipped crew.
