HRA Background

HRA was established in 2001 to provide highly tailored and specialized consulting services in talent and performance management.  The firm focuses on four practice areas: executive assessment, executive coaching, HR architecture and HR analytics/metrics.  We have produced highly customized solutions in each of these areas.

The HRA business model is designed to staff in accordance with the particular needs of each engagement we serve.   We operate from the perspective that "small is the new big."  To accomplish this we maintain a core group of consultants and a network of experts in the field of human capital management. 

Professionals in our HR Expert Network (HR-EN) are carefully vetted for particular projects to assure that our mission of HR alignment is maintained in our own backyard.    We believe our staffing model and alliance of experts provides our clients with the following key advantages compared to traditional consulting firms:

• Consultants matched to project needs rather than force-fitting from limited bench availability
• Truly senior-level expertise after the point of sale and throughout an engagement
• Multiple perspectives, skills and tools outside of one-firm dogma and tool box
• Tailored solutions rather than proprietary services
• Minimized fixed-cost structure to provide greater value

Our Mission, Vision and Values provide a clear set of objectives for what we do and uncompromising standards for how we do it.
