Rethinking HR helps organizations configure, secure, report on, and choose HR and payroll systems, such as Workday, ADP, Dayforce, Oracle, TriNet, BambooHR, Gusto, and others. Led by Lisa Parra, the firm pairs HR technology expertise with more than 20 years of hands-on HR experience.
What Does an HR Systems Consultant Do?
An HR systems consultant makes sure your HR and payroll technology supports how your business actually runs. That includes configuring the system, building reports, setting up security, and helping you choose or move to a new platform.
Is Your HR System Set Up for How Your Business Actually Works?
If your team relies on workarounds, side spreadsheets, or manual fixes, probably not. Many systems are configured quickly at go-live using defaults, then never revisited as the organization changes.
Lisa configures HR, payroll, benefits, and compensation setup to match your real processes, and cleans up configurations that no longer fit.
How Can Better HR Reporting Help You Make Smarter Decisions?
Better reporting puts accurate headcount, turnover, labor cost, and compliance data in front of leaders when they need it, so decisions rest on facts instead of estimates. Without it, HR and payroll teams spend hours pulling numbers by hand, and leaders get different answers to the same question.
Lisa builds custom reports and calculated data that answer the questions leaders, payroll, and finance actually ask.
How Do You Keep Employee Data Secure Without Slowing Teams Down?
Design roles and permissions around what each job actually requires, so people get the access they need and nothing more. Too little access creates bottlenecks and workarounds; too much puts sensitive pay, benefits, and personal data at risk.
Lisa sets up and reviews system security so employee data stays protected while day-to-day work keeps moving.
How Do You Choose and Implement the Right HR System?
Start with your requirements, not the vendor demo: define what your business needs, compare platforms against it, then plan data migration and training before go-live. Organizations that skip those steps often end up paying for features they don’t use while missing ones they need.
Lisa helps with system selection, moves between HR and payroll platforms, and the documentation and training your team needs to own the system with confidence.
Why Work With an HR Systems Consultant Who Knows HR?
Because an HR system is only as good as the HR thinking behind it. A consultant who understands benefits, policy, compliance, and people management configures systems that support those programs, instead of just making the screens work.
