Channel Marker HR Consulting

Channel Marker HR is a consulting practice on Sweetbriar Drive in Raleigh that handles human resources work for small businesses. Kayla Beavers owns it and does the consulting. The name comes from the markers that keep boats in the channel, which is roughly what the service is meant to do for an employer.

A typical engagement starts with a look at what a company is already doing, then finds the gaps. Compliance with federal and state rules gets checked, and the advice that follows is meant to be acted on.
