Elevating Your Leadership
ABOUT US
Our Vision
North Carolina Human Resources Partners was created to help local governments build stronger teams, stay compliant, and serve their communities more effectively --- all while keeping HR manageable. Whether you need a one-time project or ongoing support, we are ready to roll up our sleeves and work alongside your team.
What We Do
Leadership Training
Our three-day leadership training program is designed for mid-level supervisors in public agencies. It covers real world HR topics they'll actually face, including: interviewing and hiring the right way, understanding and applying FMLA, ADA, Workers' Compensation, and other employment laws; evaluating employee performance and addressing problems early, creating inclusive teams and preventing harassment and discrimination in the workplace, managing conflict, communicating effectively, and building trust with their teams.
Recruitment & HR Support
Our recruitment services include: crafting clear, defensible job descriptions tailored to public sector roles; helping you attract candidates who understand the unique nature of public service work; streamlining your application and interview processes to save time while maintaining compliance; offering interview training for hiring panels to ensure fair and consistent evaluations. Beyond hiring, we also offer on-call HR consulting for: policy and handbook development, ensuring compliance with state and federal laws, as well as best practices for public employers; employee relations guidance - whether it's coaching managers through tough conversations or helping HR resolve sensitive issues; support with compliance audits, performance management processes, and internal investigations.
Pay Studies & Compensation Analysis
We offer comprehensive pay studies that help you understand: how your pay compares to similar local governments in your region, where you might have pay compression or internal equity issues, how your benefits package stacks up -- and where you can stay competitive without overextending your budget, clear, defensible recommendations for salary ranges, pay adjustments, and long-term compensation strategies.
Expert Guidance Every Step of the Way
With over 60 years of combined experience our team is well equipped to support your needs. From small towns to larger municipalities, we bring the expertise and hands-on support you need to keep your HR practices effective, compliant, and tailored to your communities needs.
Tailored Skill Development
We understand that every local government does things a little differently, so we work closely with your HR staff to customize the training materials to reflect your policies, processes, and forms. Your supervisors won't just learn generic best practices, they will learn how to apply those practices within the framework of your specific organization.
Career Resources at Your Fingertips
We believe in real-world training with tools supervisors can actually use. Everyone walks away with practical handouts, checklists, and guides --- all aligned with your actual policies. Leaving no guesswork, just clear steps they can follow to handle their HR responsibilities with confidence.
What Sets Us Apart
We've built strong relationships with HR professionals across cities, counties, and public agencies throughout the state, which gives us access to up-to-date data. We keep it simple. Local government HR is complicated enough without adding extra layers of confusion. Our approach focuses on practical, defensible solutions - no fluff, no unnecessary jargon - just clear, actionable advice that helps you make decisions with confidence.
