You didn’t start a business to stress over HR and safety compliance matters, did you? The Big Picture Consulting serves businesses nationwide with employee management, compliance, safety training materials, and other tools to help you succeed. We know how to help companies like yours because we work with residential service providers every day: HVAC/heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, garage doors, landscaping, pest control, and more. And trust us: you'd rather work with us to identify what's wrong at your company than find out about it from OSHA or the Department of Labor!

No matter where in the United States you do business, our team can help you tackle compliance issues, handle employee situations with confidence, establish a regular safety training program, and so much more.

Foundational HR & Employee Management

We thrive on the challenges other people avoid. We love to help HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, and other residential service providers comply with complex laws and government regulations that weren’t written with you in mind. Let us help you with foundational HR documents, employee handbooks, and expert advice on policies and procedures so you can run your business with confidence.

Advanced HR Consulting & Administration

Your employees are both your company’s greatest asset and its greatest source of worry, stress, and liability. This is where our advanced Human Resources consulting services come into play. We not only help you handle complex and aggravating employee management situations, we will proactively improve your employee experience through management training and strategy sessions, and the sharing of industry best practices and insights. We can visit you on-site to give an in-depth review of your operation.

And with our exclusive Executive Retainer service, we'll even step in as your HR facilitators and handle on administrative tasks (hiring, benefits, even payroll!) to potentially save you from having to hire a full-time employee to manage it!

Safety Compliance

Let us help you identify and fix compliance vulnerabilities at your company BEFORE the government steps in or someone gets injured. Our safety experts will help you get into compliance while still being able to run your business. We tailor your program for your specific industry, tools, and environment so it's exactly what you need. Imagine feeling so confident in your safety program and policies that you never again lose sleep over OSHA requirements or concerns for employee safety!

Payroll Compliance

Overtime compliance is the number 1 vulnerability for residential contractors. And non-compliance is more common than you may think. In fact, 90-95% of compensation plans using incentive pay (i.e., spiffs, commissions, task pay, etc.) are NOT compliant with overtime laws. If your business falls into this category, it will cost you—BIG time. But don’t worry. We’re here to help you improve payroll and ensure your compensation plan is fully compliant regarding performance pay, overtime premiums, and more.
