@hr.cocktails: Fractional HR sounds great in theory, but how does it actually work? In this episode, Kimberly Prescott sits down with Amber Trail, Managing Consultant at Prescott HR, to break down what fractional HR really means and why it's often misunderstood. They discuss the difference between what managers should handle versus what HR does, common misconceptions about outsourced HR support, and the full range of services fractional HR provides: from handbooks and onboarding to strategic planning and compliance. Amber shares real examples of when fractional HR clicks perfectly with clients and when expectations miss the mark, plus why HR is nothing like accounting or bookkeeping (despite what job ads might say). We discuss these topics…and of course, we talk about cocktails, including a Hotel Nacional straight from Puerto Rico!
