Small businesses and nonprofits deserve great HR support, too.
Small businesses and nonprofits deserve great HR support, too.
The Balanced Room was created for organizations that care deeply about their people but may not need—or have the resources for—a full-time HR department.
My mission is to bring experienced, practical HR guidance to the people doing the hard work of running growing businesses and mission-driven organizations. Whether you're navigating an employee issue, strengthening a leader, building policies and processes, or simply wondering “What is the right thing to do here?” you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
I believe strong organizations don't have to choose between taking care of people and getting results. The best workplaces do both.

Kellymarie Heitmann, SHRM-SCP
HR & People Advisor
With executive-level HR and operational leadership experience, I understand that people decisions don't happen in a vacuum. They affect your employees, your leaders, your customers, and your business.
I created The Balanced Room to give small businesses and nonprofits access to experienced HR guidance without requiring a full-time HR department.
My approach is practical and straightforward: understand the situation, protect the organization, treat people fairly, and find a solution that actually works in the real world.
