HR Strategy & Planning
Kisâkihitin Human Resource Group helps employers and organizations plan for and navigate significant workplace transitions. Through practical planning, communication support, conflict resolution, and people-focused HR guidance, we help organizations make informed decisions while considering the people affected by change.
Change Can Be Complex. Your Approach Matters.
Strategic HR support for organizations navigating mergers, acquisitions, workforce transitions, union considerations, and complex workplace change.
When priorities differ and important decisions need to be made, having a clear process for communication, consultation, conflict resolution, and workforce planning can help organizations move through change more intentionally.
Kisâkihitin provides people-focused HR consultation to help organizations understand what needs to be considered, prepare for potential challenges, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

Look Beyond the Immediate Transition
During organizational change, there can be many moving pieces. We help organizations consider:
People
How will employees be affected?
Communication
What needs to be communicated, when, and to whom?
Workforce
How will roles, responsibilities, and teams be affected?
Contracts
What employment agreements or workplace documents need to be reviewed?
Culture
How might organizational culture change during integration?
Relationships
How can leadership, employees, unions, and other stakeholders work toward productive outcomes?
