Monyca Brown
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I provide behind-the-scenes operational and project support to HR consultants who are balancing multiple priorities.

Michelle Slobig
Founder
Who I am & What I Do
My focus is to partner with small and growing organizations by offering leadership training, employee development, coaching, and practical HR templates. Because many small businesses struggle with compliance, talent development, and HR systems, I bring both strategic and technical support (including HRIS setup) to assist with building up employees and leaders so companies can grow stronger. I lead with integrity, clarity, and compassion.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
HR4HR has connected me with a strong network of HR professionals and practical resources that strengthen my practice and keep me current with evolving trends and compliance requirements. It’s also given me encouragement and support as I grow my consulting business—making me feel part of a professional community that truly understands HR.
What Makes Me Unique
My focus is on strengthening workplace culture by building up both employees and leaders. I bring together HR expertise and HRIS technical skills to deliver clarity, strategy, and systems that help businesses thrive. Inspired by the motorcycle community, I carry forward resilience, grit, and connection which are the same values I strive to help companies cultivate.
Erin Eilers
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I help business owners sleep at night by keeping them compliant, protected, and confident in their people practices. With over 25 years of experience and a Master’s in Employment Law, I specialize in building HR structures that prevent legal headaches before they happen. Unlike big-box PEOs, I offer tailored, hands-on support so leaders get the expertise they need—without losing control of their culture.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Being part of HR4HR connects me to a powerhouse network of peers who understand the unique challenges of leading HR at the highest level. It’s not just about knowledge-sharing—it’s about having trusted colleagues who push me to stay sharp, innovative, and always one step ahead on compliance trends.
What Makes Me Unique
My consulting firm isn’t just about policy manuals and compliance checklists—it’s about protecting businesses from becoming tomorrow’s lawsuit headline. I bring a straight-talk, no-fluff approach that makes HR not just a necessary function, but a competitive advantage. And yes, I can make compliance sound (almost) fun.
Gayle Fainstein
Founder & CEO
Who I am & What I Do
I work with founders and executive leaders who are tired of being the default person for every HR matter. I partner with you behind the scenes to take pressure off your plate, supporting your managers, answering the day-to-day people matters & questions, and putting simple structures in place so your team can run with more clarity and less handholding. You stay focused on growth and your people stay supported without it all landing on your desk.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
One of the main reasons I joined is because working as a solo consultant can feel isolating at times. I see HR4HR as the best of both worlds. I get the autonomy I love while also feeling like I have coworkers again. It’s great to be able to bounce around ideas, learn about new trends, and stay on top of what’s happening out there. Being part of this group will make the work feel a lot less lonely and a lot more connected.
What Makes Me Unique
I don't do "black and white HR." I try hard to bring empathy and humor to my interactions while helping leaders navigate the gray with confidence.
Rene Gonzales
SHRM-SCP
Who I am & What I Do
I am a seasoned Human Resources leader with over 30 years of experience helping organizations build cultures that inspire innovation, performance, and engagement. I’ve led strategic HR initiatives across industries including technology, manufacturing, hospitality, financial services, and nonprofit sectors—aligning people strategies with business goals to drive measurable results. My work focuses on talent development, workforce planning, leadership coaching, and organizational transformation, partnering with executives to strengthen teams and navigate change effectively. A trusted advisor to C-suite executives, I specialize in uniting multi-generational teams, guiding complex change, and cultivating high-performing workplaces.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Having a community of HR pros to turn to is extremely motivating for me. Being on my own, I often feel I can't take on certain projects because I don't have the background to best serve that project. Now, being part of HR4HR provides me with a selection of HR professionals with varying backgrounds that I can lean on for support or hand the project to so I can build lasting relationships with my clients.
What Makes Me Unique
I have done extensive study on the differences between the multiple generational groups in the workforce today. With Gen Z quickly making its mark on companies that are still functioning in older mindsets, I have the ability to help companies find a symbiotic solution that allows them to build on their differences and create cohesive work groups.
Alicia Osborne

I provide specialized HR consulting focusing on benefits administration, compliance, and training. By stepping in during staffing gaps, I help organizations avoid costly delays, compliance risks, and recruitment strain. I am also able to provide support in all areas of HR (recruitment, employment, employee relations, leave, workers' compensation, FMLA, ADA, etc.) having worked progressively increased my HR expertise over 19+ years.
The Value of HR4HR Membership
Having a support system, a team of experts to consult with from all areas of HR has been invaluable. Knowing I can reach out to a fellow HR professional and receive expert support provides peace of mind for not only me, but lends to the confidence in providing support above and beyond to my clients.
