Profit is essential, but it only comes through people.

As a founder or a leader of a family business, your business is far more than “just a job.” It’s a part of you, your heritage, and your legacy. Your goal is to reach your ideal of success. Our goal is to get you there, by helping you build and deploy the best workforce possible.

As a thought leader in the HR space, The Hayes Approach (THA) works with organizations (especially those who are founder led and/or family owned) in our Outsourced HR business. We partner with clients across the nation to provide a wide range of hands-on services, from the basics of traditional HR to advanced coaching, leadership, and workplace solutions.

“Profit for a company is like oxygen for a person. If you don’t have enough of it, you’re out of the game. But if you think your life is about breathing, you’re really missing something.” – Peter Drucker

Testimonial

Real Reviews from Our Clients About Tangible Results

Missy Nicholson,VP ControllerSwafford Transport & Warehouse, Inc.
“We had the pleasure of working closely with The Hayes Approach for over 5 years. They moved us from a wholly manual HR process and paperwork to digital. We also utilized their payroll service. These changes greatly improved our onboarding and offboarding process allowing us to focus more on our operations and revenue growth. They also provided business coaching guiding us through strategic planning and ultimately succession planning including the ultimate successful sale of our operating companies. We like to say THA has the 3 Big C's: Competence, Communicative and Caring. They are a class act.”
Janet Aguilar
Leslie Hayes and her staff are great to work with. Leslie worked with me one-on-one during several meetings. With a wealth of information and experience, she counseled and advised in order to help me address my particular problems with ease.
Davina Anderson
Things that I have always wanted to do have now become things that are getting done. Life changing decisions are now in my control. And if asked, I would say there is no better feeling.
Jean Blair
Using The Hayes Approach workshops was a great investment for FUJIFILM! We saw benefits immediately and measured a 169% return on investment after 8 months!
Melissa Starker, M.Ed
Leslie Hayes is a phenomenal trainer! She provides invaluable current and relevant information in an engaging and thought provoking format. Her ease and rapport with participants, as well as her expertise on the topic, allows participants to easily apply their learning to each individual setting and situation.
Christoph Schönmetzler
For being able to support your business from the inside a coach must understand your company and every individual at the same time. Leslie and her team were able to “read” us from day one and support us perfectly in small as well as big topics. If you want to experience professional support and having fun doing your business at the same time I can only recommend The Hayes Approach.
Co-Founder and COO, Interior Design Firm
As owner of a small business, there are a TON of tasks related to the employee lifecycle that must be handled responsibly, professionally and legally. THA have proven to be a godsend for me. They have taken so many HR tasks off my plate, allowing me to focus on things I'm best at. Additionally, the staff are now getting questions answered more quickly (such as benefits questions, payroll questions, etc...), and I have the confidence in knowing that we have an HR professional group helping our team on so many levels.
Training Director, Distribution Company
We have worked Leslie and THA for almost 2 years utilizing them for coaching and leadership development. Feedback from our associates has always been high, and the return on investment has proven to be very worthwhile.
COO, IT Company
We have worked with THA for years and have always found them to be available when needed and to provide honest and valuable advice. I have recommended them to colleagues as a service provider and employer and would do so again.
HR Director, Manufacturing
Among all the professional business/HR consulting firms I have worked with, THA stands out as one of the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable and innovative. I rely on their subject matter expertise, integrity and commitment to our partnership.
Liz Horton
Our company has had the pleasure of working with The Hayes Approach for several years now, and they have become a trusted extension of our HR function. They truly feel like an integrated part of our team, seamlessly supporting us in critical areas such as compliance, recruiting, onboarding, and employee retention. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable in helping us build a strong and successful workforce. We highly recommend The Hayes Approach to any organization looking for a reliable and effective HR partner!
Lamiesa Bonton
I’ve enjoyed working with THA and Brad. I can’t say enough about Brad’s outstanding service. Even though he’s out of state, he is incredibly responsive and continuously engaged with our staff. He’s genuinely a part of our team, offering support and guidance that helps us strengthen our workforce. His solutions-oriented approach is invaluable, and he consistently finds practical solutions to support our team’s success. I highly recommend this firm!
Andrew Kurtz
Leslie and the THA team have been valuable resources and guides for more than a decade as we’ve grown and evolved. They have evolved with us, always trying to make sure they are filling our gaps and helping grow our people.
Lo Martin
We’ve been working with The Hayes Approach for over 5 years now, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. Their team has consistently demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of our company’s needs. The relationship we’ve built over the years feels more like a partnership than just a service provider. We truly appreciate their responsiveness, expertise, and the personal attention they give to our business. We would highly recommend them to any organization looking for reliable and thoughtful HR support!
