Too much to deal with, not enough expertise to deal with it and a nagging feeling something is going to bite you.

Let’s sort it out.

Fractional Head of HR

If people issues keep landing on your desk, it’s rarely the people that are the problem

  • Managers aren’t aligned.

  • Every time someone resigns, underperforms or raises a complaint, it lands on you and you’re never quite sure you’re handling it right.

  • HR support doesn’t quite match the complexity of your business

  • Or you’re growing and the foundations simply aren’t there yet.

None of this is unusual.

Jo Spilsbury, fractional HR consultant and founder of Mercate People Partners, serving businesses across Wake County and the Triangle, NC.

You’re in the right place if:

  • You’re a business owner who knows your people need HR support and you’re ready to invest in getting it right.

  • You want someone who can step in quickly and take the weight off.

  • You’re growing and you’d rather build HR foundations that last rather than fix expensive mistakes later.

Some clients come to me to build the foundations. Others need senior HR leadership through a critical moment.

Most end up wanting both.

What you get

I work alongside CEOs and leadership teams to:

  • Take ownership of complex people issues.

  • Bring consistency and confidence to leadership decisions.

  • Build the HR foundations your business needs to grow without the wheels coming off.

  • Reduce risk and unnecessary distraction.

  • Keep the business moving while HR leadership is stretched, absent or evolving.

What people say

Jo made a significant and lasting impact on both our people and our performance. Jo has a rare ability to translate strategy into practical, engaging development that leaders actually use.
