Meet Katie Sterling, PHR, SHRM-CP
Experienced HR Leadership. Practical Solutions. People-First Results.
With more than 20 years of Human Resources experience, Katie brings a practical, business-minded approach to helping organizations navigate the people side of their business. Holding both the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) credentials, she combines extensive HR knowledge with hands-on experience supporting business leaders, employees, and organizational growth.
Her experience spans employee relations, workplace investigations, recruiting, performance management, employee retention, HR policies and procedures, organizational development, and change management. She has partnered with leadership teams to navigate complex employee situations, strengthen workplace practices, support organizational transitions, and build more consistent and effective HR processes.
Understanding that small and midsized businesses often need experienced HR guidance without the expense of a full-time HR department, Katie founded her fractional HR consulting practice to make professional HR support more accessible. Her goal is to give business owners a trusted resource they can turn to for practical guidance, thoughtful problem-solving, and solutions that align with both their business needs and their employees’ well-being.
Her approach balances accountability with compassion. She believes effective HR is about more than policies and compliance; it’s about helping businesses create workplaces where people understand expectations, leaders feel supported, and good employees want to stay.
Whether assisting with a challenging employee situation, reviewing existing HR practices, improving hiring and retention strategies, or helping leaders prepare for growth, Katie works to provide clear, practical guidance tailored to each organization’s needs.
Her philosophy is simple: strong businesses are built by strong people, and supporting both is at the heart of effective HR.
