Luman Group is a fractional HR team led by Meghan Davey, SPHR, a 20-year HR executive who has run HR for companies of 10,000 people. An HR executive on call from $500 a month, investigations and training handled for you, and templates and kits if you'd rather do it yourself.
"An employee just told me they're pregnant and asked what they're entitled to."
One call. You find out exactly what you're legally required to do, and what you must not say, before you accidentally create a discrimination claim.
02
"I need to let someone go and I'm terrified of getting sued."
We walk you through the conversation and review the separation agreement before you sign anything, so the termination is clean, documented and defensible.
03
"A harassment complaint just landed on my desk."
You're legally on the clock the moment you know. We tell you what you're required to do and help you respond the right way.
04
"A former employee says we owe them overtime."
Guidance on where you actually stand and how to respond, before it turns into a Department of Labor problem you didn't see coming.
05
"We're hiring fast and our offer letters are guesswork."
Offer letters and worker classifications reviewed before they go out, so you're not building tomorrow's liability into today's hires.
A cautionary tale
Don't be Penny.
Penny Pinchwell tried to save money by handling HR herself. A handshake hire, an undocumented Friday firing, a worker she called a contractor, a complaint she let sit over a weekend.
Each one avoidable. Each one cost her five figures. Her story is the reason every tool, policy and kit we make exists.
A fractional CHRO (chief human resources officer) is a senior HR executive you share with other companies and pay by the month. A full-time HR manager runs $80,000 to $110,000 a year, loaded.

Why Luman, not a chatbot
AI can write the words. It can't carry the risk.
Anyone can generate a policy in seconds now. That's the easy part. A generated document is frozen the day it's made, blind to your situation, and happy to state a rule that doesn't exist. The value was always the judgment that catches what's wrong, keeps it current as the law changes, and stands behind it when a complaint lands.
I'm the person you call when it's about to go wrong.
I've spent more than 20 years in the rooms where the hard people decisions get made. Now I do it for small businesses that don't have an HR department, and frankly, shouldn't have to.
I'm Meghan Davey, SPHR. 20+ years in HR leadership, including Head of HR for 10,000+ employees.
Meghan is a rare combination of operator and people strategist. She sees the business issue, the people issue, and the risk, often before others do.
