Where Compliance Meets Culture, and People Come First

We help leaders build workplaces that are compliant, confident, and deeply human.

Founder’s Welcome

We believe that effective HR isn’t about paperwork, it’s about people.
It’s about clarity that builds confidence, compliance that protects integrity, and systems that let culture thrive.

Founded by an experienced HR strategist with deep expertise in California employment law and defense-sector compliance, SECHR was established to fill a critical gap in the HR consulting world—providing expert compliance guidance delivered with empathy, integrity, and personal attention.

“I started SECHR to prove that HR can be both rigorous and relational.
Leaders deserve consultants who bring not just policy expertise, but partnership and perspective.”

Our Mission

To help organizations strengthen their people operations through compliance-smart, culture-first HR strategy, empowering leaders to lead with clarity and confidence.

We exist to protect, empower, and elevate workplaces across California and beyond.

Because when HR runs smoothly, people feel safe, valued, and inspired to do their best work.

Our Boutique Approach

SECHR isn’t a massive agency or a one-person freelancer shop.
We’re a boutique consultancy, intentionally small, deliberately personal, and deeply specialized.

That means:

  • You work directly with experienced consultants (no junior handoffs).

  • Every engagement is customized, no copy-paste templates.

  • We move with agility, precision, and genuine care.

This approach has made us a trusted HR partner for small businesses, nonprofits, and defense-sector organizations that demand both compliance accuracy and cultural alignment.

Our Story

SECHR began with a simple truth:
Great workplaces don’t happen by accident, they’re built with intention.

What started as a solo practice advising local California businesses soon evolved into a trusted partner for organizations navigating complex compliance landscapes and culture transformations.

Over the years, SECHR has guided dozens of leaders through:

  • HR audits and policy development

  • Fractional HR leadership support

  • California and federal compliance realignment

  • Workforce growth and culture strategy

Today, we continue that mission, helping every client find peace of mind through clarity, compliance, and compassion.

Our Values

  • Integrity in Every Detail

    We operate with transparency, ethics, and discretion, especially when it matters most.

  • Partnership Over Paperwork

    We work alongside you, not above you. Your success is our shared goal.

  • Clarity Creates Confidence

    We turn complex regulations into clear, actionable systems that leaders can actually use.

  • Culture is the Core

    Compliance protects your organization, but culture sustains it. We help you build both.
