Meet Claire

HR that feels a little less complicated and a lot more human.

Claire believes people do their best work when organizations do their best by their people. That means thoughtful policies, meaningful support and an understanding that employees are whole people, not just employees.

After years of working alongside growing organizations, she saw that smaller companies often need experienced, personalized HR support but don’t have the resources for a full-time hire. She founded BestWork HR to bridge that gap.

Known for an approachable, compassionate and trusted style, her goal is simple: give leaders peace of mind, give employees a trusted resource, and help everyone do their best work.
