Ask Mickie - Your Strategic HR Partner for Business Growth
Ask Mickie is a fractional HR consultancy founded by Mynette "Mickie" Murrell, MBA, dedicated to transforming how business leaders view and leverage human resources. With over 20 years of HR leadership experience across Fortune 500 companies and small businesses, we partner with forward-thinking business owners and c-suite leaders who understand that their people are their greatest competitive advantage.
HR as a Strategic Partner, Not a Necessary Evil
Too often, business leaders view HR as simply a compliance function or problem-solver. We believe differently. Strategic HR is a profit driver that directly impacts your bottom line through reduced turnover costs, improved productivity, stronger leadership teams, and organizational efficiency. When done right, HR doesn't just protect your business—it propels it forward.
We partner with you to build high-performing organizations where employees are engaged, leaders are equipped, and operations run smoothly. This allows you to focus on innovation, growth, and serving your customers while we handle the strategic people infrastructure that makes it all possible.
Driving Measurable Business Results
Our clients don't just get compliance support—they experience tangible business outcomes. We've delivered documented ROI ranging from $145,000 to $424,000 through strategic initiatives like reducing costly turnover, resolving productivity barriers, developing leadership capability, and creating scalable systems that support growth. We believe in data-driven decision making and proving our value through real business metrics, not fear-based selling about what could go wrong.
Scalable Solutions for Every Stage of Growth
Whether you're managing a lean team or scaling to thousands of employees, we create flexible HR structures that grow with your business. Our expertise spans strategic planning, organizational development, talent management, leadership coaching, performance optimization, employee relations, and comprehensive compliance management (FMLA, ADA, FLSA, EEOC). We specialize in manufacturing and industrial sectors with multi-location and multi-state expertise.
Accessible Expertise When You Need It
Our remote-first model with flexible on-site availability means you get executive-level HR guidance without the overhead of a full-time department. Whether you need ongoing strategic partnership or project-based support, we tailor our services to your specific business needs and budget.
Located in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, we proudly serve businesses throughout the region and beyond who are ready to view HR as the strategic advantage it should be.
No need to wonder, Ask Mickie.
