What is a WASPA Human Resources Consultant? 

A  WASPA Human Resources consultant is a Human Resources Professional who contracts with one or more districts or schools to provide a variety of HR-related services to that organization. These might include helping the district develop a benefits package, developing a recruitment plan, assisting with job analysis or pay grading, providing staff and administrator training on a variety of topics, or providing other HR related initiatives.  

WASPA Human Resources Consultants may advise on general HR matters in areas of specialized expertise, such as benefits or labor relations. The arrangement between the employing district and the consultant can be tailored to whatever works best for the consultant and district/school.  Consultants may work collaboratively with administrators, perform research, or present options for the district/school to consider regarding certain situations.

The specific services provided by the consultant will differ depending upon the needs of each district/school.  Examples on such services might include:

  • Meeting with districts/schools to determine their HR needs or issues

  • Working with district/schools to develop, revise and implement appropriate HR policies

  • Assessing the district’s/school’s current HR services and programs for compliance and implementation of industry trends and standards

  • Analyzing data and developing reports for management with regard to specific HR projects

  • Offering HR-related training to each client

  • Conducting or guiding discipline actions to ensure policy and regulation compliance

  • Maintaining employee records
