Hey! My name is Fran and I’ve Got You Covered

I didn’t start my career in Human Resources—I was thrown into it!

No formal training, no HR degree. Just a background in operations, a lot of self-teaching, and a drive to do things the right way.

In a few short years, I’ve taken my 9-to-5 company from out-of-compliance to confidently covered—saving them $150,000+ just by streamlining processes and doing HR smarter.

I’ve since earned my SHRM-CP certification and now I help solopreneurs, micro-businesses, and small teams build simple, sustainable systems that support growth, compliance, and people.

3 Simple Steps to Elevate Your HR

Experience stress-free scaling with a structured, supportive approach.

Step 1: Start with a Strategy Session

We’ll meet in person or over Zoom to talk through your current setup, your goals, and what’s getting in the way—no pressure, just clarity.

Step 2: Create a Custom HR Plan

I’ll create a personalized roadmap that helps you stay compliant, save time, and support your team — with exactly what you need, and nothing extra.

Step 3: Implement with Confidence

Together, we’ll put the plan into action. You’ll get clear next steps, support where it counts, and systems you can actually stick with.

What People Are Saying

Whether it’s clients or colleagues, I’m honored by the kind words I’ve received from those I’ve worked with.

“You’ve been so amazing this year—handling all that comes with your role with grace and staying on top of so many things. You go above and beyond to make sure you know what you need to do your job well. You have compassion for others and support those around you, even when you have your own struggles. We’re lucky to have you.”

- Current Employee

“Kudos to Fran Ritchey for going above and beyond in her HR role and for learning so much to become an HR GODDESS! Thank you for being caring, compassionate, and full of empathy for everyone here. That’s something that can’t be taught, and we’re lucky it’s you in that seat.”

- Current Employee

“Fran Ritchey, you crushed it!!! You took over a brand new role with no prior experience at the worst possible time for the company—and you’ve handled it with grit and growth. Even though it’s trial by fire, we know you’ll come out wiser and stronger. Here’s to the neck muscles you’ve built shaking your head and the arm muscles from all those facepalms.”

Struggling to Set Up HR for Growth?

I understand the challenges small business owners face—because I’ve lived them.

That’s where Proactive HR Pathways comes in.
