CANADA HR SERVICES

Most small businesses start with HR basics, then add support or systems as they grow. We’ll meet you where you are and build from there.

HR Essentials

Contracts & Handbooks

Employment agreements and handbooks form the foundation of the employment relationship. When done properly, they set clear expectations, support management decisions, and materially reduce risk and termination costs.

Why small businesses work with us

Most small businesses don't have a dedicated HR department. HR gets squeezed between serving customers, managing staff, and running the business.

That's why we focus on getting things right before they become expensive, time-consuming, or difficult to fix.

Whether you're building your HR foundation, need support with a challenging employee issue, or are ready to move your HR online, we can help.

ConnectsUs HR has supported Canadian small businesses since 2006 through HR tools, templates, handbooks, and consulting.

As demand for hands-on consulting grew, we launched Sienna HR as our dedicated HR services brand.

Today, ConnectsUs HR focuses on DIY HR resources, while Sienna HR delivers consulting, advisory, and HR software implementation services.
