Fractional HR Leadership for Growing Organizations
HR that protects your business and respects your people.
C-Solutions HR Consulting gives small and mid-sized employers access to senior human resources leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. You get compliance you can defend, documentation that holds up, and a workplace your people trust.

Seven services that cover the full HR function
Start with one area or hand over the whole function. Every engagement is scoped to what your organization actually needs right now, then adjusted as you grow.

Our Mission
To bring enterprise-caliber human resources leadership to organizations that are not yet ready for a full-time HR executive, building compliant, well-documented, people-first workplaces where employees are treated with consistency and leaders decide with confidence.
Our Vision
To be the human resources partner growing organizations trust most, and to advance a standard of practice where compliance and compassion are inseparable, and where responsible technology gives every leader the insight to make fair, defensible people decisions.
Integrity First
We give the honest assessment, including the one that is harder to hear.
Compliance as Protection
Documentation is not paperwork. It is what protects the business and the employee.
Dignity in Every Interaction
Every employee matter is handled with the same care, at every level of the organization.
Clarity Over Complexity
Plain language policies and guidance that managers can actually apply.
Partnership, Not Transaction
We measure success by the risk you avoid and the culture you keep.
How We Work
A clear path from first conversation to steady state
No long discovery phase before you see value. Most clients have a prioritized action plan within the first three weeks.
Discovery Conversation
A complimentary 15 minute call to understand your size, structure, current pain points, and where your exposure sits today.
HR Integrity Check
A structured review of files, policies, practices, and technology, delivered as a risk-ranked findings report with recommended priorities.
Build and Implement
We close the highest risk gaps first, then build the handbooks, workflows, templates, and manager training your team will use every day.
Advise and Sustain
Ongoing partnership through a monthly retainer, with responsive guidance, quarterly reviews, and metrics that show what changed.
Who You Work With
Senior HR leadership, delivered personally
When you engage C-Solutions, you work directly with Cleona Pierre. There is no account manager layer and no handoff to a junior generalist.
Cleona is a SHRM-SCP and PHR certified HR leader with more than 15 years of progressive human resources experience across hospitality, gaming, live events, property management, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations. She has served as the sole HR business partner to regulated operations employing thousands, built HR functions from the ground up and worked for multi-state employers, and led investigations, compliance programs, and HRIS implementations that hold up under scrutiny.
Her compliance practice covers federal and Florida employment law in depth, including ERISA, FMLA, ADA, and Department of Labor requirements, along with pay equity and wage and hour practice. She has managed unemployment claims, agency inquiries, and audits with a 90 percent appeal success rate and no resulting litigation, and she handles every matter with the discretion that sensitive employee information demands.
Her practice is built on a simple belief: strong documentation and genuine respect for employees are not competing priorities. They are the same discipline. That is what allows a business to move quickly, defend its decisions, and keep the people it worked hard to hire.

Common Questions
What clients ask before we start
How is fractional HR different from an HR outsourcing company or a PEO?
A PEO becomes a co-employer and administers payroll and benefits at scale. Fractional HR gives you a senior HR leader who works inside your business, knows your managers by name, and owns the judgment calls. You keep control of your employment relationship and your culture. Many clients use both, with the PEO handling transactions and C-Solutions handling strategy, compliance, and employee relations.
We only have 25 employees. Are we too small for this?
No. Organizations between roughly 15 and 250 employees are exactly where fractional HR delivers the most value. You are large enough to carry real employment risk and too small to justify a six-figure HR executive. The HR Essentials tier was built for this stage.
How quickly can an engagement start?
Most engagements begin within one to two weeks of a signed agreement. Urgent matters such as an active investigation or an agency inquiry can usually be picked up within 48 hours.
Do you work remotely or on site?
Both. Clients in the South Florida area typically combine remote support with scheduled on-site days. Clients outside the region are supported remotely, with on-site visits available by arrangement.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. C-Solutions HR Consulting provides human resources consulting and is not a law firm. We work alongside your employment counsel, prepare the documentation and facts they need, and tell you plainly when a matter should be referred to an attorney.

The Next Chapter of HR
Ready for what comes next
Human resources is being reshaped by technology faster than most policies can keep up with.
C-Solutions helps growing organizations adopt HRIS platforms and artificial intelligence deliberately, with the governance that keeps every people decision fair, documented, and defensible. The firms that get this right will spend the next decade making better decisions faster. The ones that do not will spend it explaining themselves.
