Services
At Waterston Consulting, I provide grounded, people-centered human resources support that helps organizations operate with clarity, confidence, and integrity.
My work supports organizations that want HR done properly – whether that means building strong foundations, managing risks, supporting leaders, administering benefits, or navigating complex people issues. I focus on real solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.
HR Foundations & Compliance
Do your policies still reflect current legislation and how your workplace actually operates?
Policies naturally fall out of date and when they do, uncertainty and inconsistency start creeping in.
How HR Foundations transforms your organization.
Clear, updated, practical HR systems that reduce risk, support leaders, and build confidence.
Leadership Development & Coaching
Your managers care deeply about their teams.
Many were promoted for their expertise, not because they received formal leadership training. Over time, that can make tough conversations, accountability, and conflict feel harder than they need to be.
How Leadership Coaching transforms your organization.
Confident leaders who communicate clearly, set expectations, and support their teams effectively.
Indigenous Workplace Support
You want workplace systems that honour culture while supporting effective operations.
Sometimes the process can start cold to feel cold and disconnected from your community’s identity as an employer.
How respecting the process transforms your organization.
Culturally grounded HR frameworks that respect values, governance, and community realities.
HR Audits, Risk Assessment & HR Check-ups
You sense something isn’t quite right — but can’t pinpoint what it is.
Small gaps can quietly turn into bigger problems if left unaddressed.
How Audits and Assessments transforms your organization.
A clear picture of where things stand — and a practical plan to strengthen HR moving forward.
HR on Demand
Does your HR Need a lifeboat?
Perhaps you don’t have HR services in house— but you still need reliable support.
How HR on Demand transforms your organization.
Experienced HR guidance available when issues arise, without the cost of adding permanent staff.
Group Benefits & Pension
Benefits and pensions carry high employee expectations.
Do you know if all employees are signed up on a plan?
Having a support expert transforms your organization.
Plans administered correctly, consistently, and transparently — building trust with employees and peace of mind for leadership.
Workplace Investigations
When serious complaints arise, handling them incorrectly can make things worse.
Knowing when to seek external support is crucial.
How external services build trust in your organization.
A fair, respectful, and professional process that people can trust.
Mediation & Conflict Resolution
Unresolved conflict doesn’t disappear — it spreads.
Lowering moral erodes trust and undermines teamwork.
How resolving conflicts transforms your organization.
Restored communication, clearer expectations, and relationships that can move forward constructively.
HR Training & Capacity Building
Your team needs knowledge — and confidence — to handle people’s issues appropriately.
Having someone on the team willing to share knowledge is a game changer.
Building capacity transforms your organization.
Leaders and HR staff who feel equipped, capable, and supported.
“I believe in practical solutions, real people, and workplaces that truly work.”
