Since 2004, Clear HR Consulting has had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients to help them become great employers. Some clients engage with us on short-term projects such as creating an employee handbook, conducting compensation benchmarking, delivering HR workshops or conducting employee surveys. The majority of our clients retain us on an ongoing basis for ad hoc HR guidance and support on whatever HR or employee issues arise. Whether working with us on a 3-month project or being a retainer client for 15 years, we are so grateful that our wonderful clients allow us to do what we do best.
With permission, here are some of our current and past clients:
“ I believe that Clear HR Consulting is a great resource for an organization like the Arts Club Theatre Company. Being a medium-sized not-for-profit charitable organization, we needed the extra resources and services that Clear HR Consulting provides. At the Arts Club we have greatly benefited from our association with Clear HR Consulting in areas like staff training, succession planning, HR document templates, and HR general advice. We value the guidance and thoughtful approach that Clear HR Consulting, under the strong leadership of Cissy Pau, brings to the table.”
– Peter Cathie White, Executive Director, Arts Club Theatre Company

The range of their experience and the ability to tailor what they know to what we need has been invaluable.”

“Clear HR Consulting was a beacon of light during a very tumultuous and complicated time at our organization. They came highly recommended to me by a colleague, and I fully understand why. Cissy and her support was outstanding. Her step by step advice was clear and practical. She had tools, templates and processes that she shared along the way, which made every step easier. Cissy was always available when we needed her. And probably what I am most grateful for is that I grew in my ability to manage complex HR scenarios working alongside her. I’ve worked with Cissy on retainer, and for project based work, and both experiences were incredibly positive. I would work with Clear HR Consulting again in a heartbeat. They are truly exceptional.”

Drawing on her vast knowledge and expertise, Cissy is an excellent listener and took the time to understand our organization and culture in order to tailor recommendations in keeping with our values as well as standard policies and best practices. I would recommend Cissy and Clear HR to anyone looking for HR consulting services customized to their needs and budget.”

“Clear HR Consulting supported our organization during a significantly complex time of upheaval and transition. Despite being only recently retained, Cissy played a pivotal role in our decision making and was readily on hand for emergency meetings and consultation. She was truly a source of guidance, reassurance and wisdom during a very chaotic period. I would strongly recommend working with Clear HR Consulting if you are looking for direct, and concise human resources support. Cissy and Klaudia do not waste time with jargon or fluff- they provide concrete expertise that will quickly get you into solution based thinking.”
– Laura Burkholder, Co-Chair, PACE Society Board of Directors
“I’ve relied on the experience of Clear HR for many years. They’re fantastic, quick to respond, and always happy to talk through issues as they come up. Cissy, Andreas, and Clear HR really are the missing piece of the small business HR puzzle.”
– Thomas Goodall, Founder, Fresh Start Recycling & Disposal
“Richmond Communities is a group of 7 associations that all had different policy and procedures. We engaged Clear HR to assist with creating one common employee handbook for all the associations. Cissy assisted with reviewing the different policies, identifying the commonalities and differences as well as if there was anything missing that should be included. A draft handbook was created and taken to associations to review and make decisions on how the differences would be handled.
This was a long process due to the number of groups involved. Clear HR was patient and quick to respond when the information finally got to them. I appreciate that there was no pressure and the main contact, Cissy, stayed constant through the whole process. Cissy provided relevant ES information related to the project and was up to date with changes. Cissy was always willing to jump on a quick call to discuss and question.”
