Sound
Familiar?

01

Can't find reliable productive employees.

We’ve all made hires that didn’t work out. But each one costs time, money, and team morale.

A real process makes all the difference.

02

Compliance keeps you up at night.

Employment law changes constantly. One misstep can cost you thousands—or worse, your reputation.

You need someone who stays on top of this.

03

No real HR policies in place.

Your employee handbook is a Google Doc from seven years ago. Or worse — an AI-generated document you spent an hour putting together. It doesn’t reflect your culture and isn’t compliant with employment standards.

It’s time to professionalize.

04

You're the HR department.

Employee issues land on your desk. Payroll questions. Benefits confusion. Conflict mediation. Finding new staff. Terminating poor performers.

That’s not why you started this business.

We've built our reputation by doing HR differently.

We become part of your team

This isn't transactional consulting.

We embed with your business, understand your people, and stay accountable to real outcomes.

Recruiting that doesn't break the bank

Traditional recruiters charge up to thirty percent of first-year salary. We believe great talent shouldn't come with a premium price tag.

Diverse industry experience

We work across tech, construction, transportation, government and more — in private and public sector, union and non-unionized environments.

We’re fluent in both the Canada Labour Code and provincial employment standards legislation. That range means fewer assumptions – and smarter decisions for your business.

Award-winning track record

Recognized for excellence in HR and business consulting.

Common questions

What does an HR consultant do for a Winnipeg business?
An HR consultant handles the people side of your business that usually ends up on an owner’s or office manager’s desk: hiring, employment agreements, policies and handbooks, Manitoba employment standards compliance, performance issues, terminations and workplace complaints. At FHB HR, we can take on one project or act as your full HR department on an ongoing basis.
What HR services does FHB HR offer?
We offer fractional HR, recruiting and talent acquisition, workplace investigations, policy and employee handbook development, employment agreements, compliance reviews, compensation and employee relations support. Most clients start with one need and expand once they see how much HR work was falling through the cracks.
What is fractional HR?
Fractional HR gives you an experienced outside HR team that works as your internal HR department, without adding anyone to your payroll. You get senior advice and day-to-day support for a flat monthly fee, scoped to the size of your team. It fits best for businesses with roughly 10 to 200 employees.
How much do your HR services cost?
Ongoing fractional HR is billed as a flat monthly retainer based on your team size and how involved you need us to be, so there are no hourly surprises. Projects like recruiting or an investigation are quoted up front. We’ll give you a specific number after a free discovery call.
Do you only work with businesses in Winnipeg?
We’re based in Winnipeg’s Exchange District and work with businesses across Manitoba and Canada. Depending on what you need, we can work on-site with your team or support you remotely.
How is FHB HR connected to F.H. Black & Company?
F.H. Black & Company Human Resources Inc. is the HR firm of F.H. Black & Company, the Winnipeg accounting and advisory firm. If you also work with FHB on the accounting side, your HR and financial advisors can work from the same picture of your business.
