HR in 2026 is a lot. This makes it easier.

The questions don’t stop. The stakes are real. And most days, you’re making judgment calls without a second opinion. B:Side is built for that part of the job. Not the theory. Not the textbook version. The “I really hope I’m handling this right” moments.

What This Is Built For

B:Side is ongoing HR support you can actually use. It’s a strong, usable library + real-time perspective + smart community — all in one place. It’s where you go when:  

  • Something feels off and you want a gut check 
  • You need a second set of eyes before you hit send 
  • You’re trying to handle something nuanced (and don’t want to get it wrong) 

What Makes B:Side Different

It’s real HR backup — without a giant invoice

HR help gets expensive fast. B:Side gives you ongoing, practical support at a price that actually makes sense to use regularly.  

We’re local (and that matters) 

We’re based in Portland. We know the PNW landscape — the policies, the quirks, the culture. You’re not getting generic advice pulled from somewhere else.  

We go deep — but keep it manageable 

Each month, we focus on one specific topic and break it down into what you actually need to know. No overwhelm. No trying to solve everything at once.  

And then there’s the community 

A place to ask: 
“Is this normal?” 
“Has anyone dealt with this?” 
“Okay, but what would you do here?” 

Also: 
Vendor recs (and warnings) 
Small wins  
Honest conversations 

You don’t have to do this work alone.  

What's Inside

The Library

A growing, well-organized collection of HR topics, tools, templates, and replays built to save you time and give you something solid to work from.  

Monthly Focus

One new theme each month, broken down into clear, practical pieces you can actually apply.  

Live Sessions

Monthly webinars to walk through the topic together. Can’t make it? Recordings are uploaded the day after the live session.  

Member Perks

Discounts on 1:1 consulting, fractional HR support, and recruiting services when you need more.  

How It Fits Into Your Life 

Use it when you need it. Engage when you have time. Lurk when you don’t. We don’t judge.  

 Everything is: 

  • Available on demand 
  • Recorded 
  • Easy to jump in and out of  

New to HR? You’re good.

You don’t need to “speak HR” to be here. We keep things clear, practical, and actually understandable.  

No jargon for the sake of it. No 60-page PDFs you’ll never open again. If you’re figuring it out as you go, you’re in very good company.
