About Us

SOVRAN HR

Our mission is to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) solve their biggest HR problems.

Sovran HR partners with SMEs to eliminate bad hires, improve team performance, and drive truly sustainable growth. We do this through the intelligent use of data analytics and IT, and by leveraging our company’s many years of experience in HR and management operations.

Whether you need full human resources support, or are seeking co-managed solution, our team of experienced HR pros can help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Our Philosophy

Our company philosophy is based on integrity, respect, and transparency — with the goal of building a truly principled workplace. Here’s what that means for us, and for you:

Integrity

Integrity is the foundation of our organization and service offerings. We are committed to delivering quality and excellence in all our services and maintain high ethical standards in everything we do. Our core values of honesty, loyalty, and trustworthiness shape our principled workplace and build trust and confidence in our customers.

Respect

We are committed to ensuring a work culture based on mutual respect and dignity. A principled workplace is free of harassment, discrimination, and uncivil behavior. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and professionally, and we value each individual’s unique talents and contributions.

Transparency

We promote open, honest communication and feedback between team members — and also with our customers. As we see it, transparency is the foundation of trust: and trust is what produces outstanding teamwork. Our open business practices help us to innovate and grow, and improve customer support and satisfaction.

Who we work with

Sovran HR is committed to building a principled workplace. First and foremost, we believe that this is the right thing to do. But we’ve also found that it is the best way to solve many HR and performance problems in the long term. If your company puts ethics and people at the center of your business, you’ll find a like-minded partner in Sovran HR.

How we work

In business, the “one-size-fits-all” approach rarely works out — and that’s especially true where SMEs are concerned. Because of this, everything we do is tailored to our clients’ specific needs. This shapes the way we work. Here’s an overview of our process:

Needs Analysis

Our team of expert consultants will sit down with your leadership to discuss areas for improvement, and to determine what has worked well in the past and what hasn’t. We’ll then analyze this preliminary information and use it to define a scope of work.

Scope of Work

Based on our discussion of your needs, Sovran HR’s team will prepare a comprehensive Statement of Work that clearly defines the project: roles, deadlines, milestones, and deliverables. If an ongoing engagement is required, we’ll provide a clear statement of roles and responsibilities so that you’ll know what to expect from month to month.

Diagnosis Audit

At this stage, we’ll take a much more granular look at the relevant historical data, metrics, KPIs, and files. The goal here is to provide an accurate, quantifiable benchmark that we can use to measure the current vs. the desired state.

Proposed Solution(s)

We give you a clear, actionable, and prioritized list of steps to take that will move your organization to the desired state as quickly as possible. Any solution that we offer will also address best practices and current compliance gaps, and will include a detailed timeline for implementation.

Implementation

If you like, we can help you with the implementation of the solution as well. This includes everything up to and including full implementation, as well as help with training or transitioning your teams.
