Bloom in Action

At Bloom, I help small businesses grow and thrive by improving their HR systems. Below are examples inspired by past client experiences that show how thoughtful HR solutions can make a real difference.

Delights Bistro: Setting Expectations in a Casual Workplace

The Situation

A small, fast-paced bistro was struggling with employee tardiness, inconsistent dress code adherence, and high turnover due to sudden terminations without warnings. The business owner was frustrated, unsure how to keep his team accountable without micromanaging.

The Solution

Working alongside a consulting team, I recommended and helped develop the foundation of a sustainable HR approach:

  • A clear and accessible employee handbook

  • Company values and expectations outlined during onboarding and culture training

  • A simple progressive discipline process for accountability

  • Ongoing policy reminders and communication strategies for managers

The Outcome
With these tools, the business had a clear structure for communication, accountability, and culture. Employees had clarity, and the owner gained confidence in leading his team without relying on abrupt decisions.

The Construction Site Case: Safety, Training, and Policy Clarity

The Situation
A growing construction company had no formal system for incident management or conflict resolution. In a high-risk environment, this led to miscommunications, safety concerns, and unresolved issues between workers.

The Solution
I provided hands-on support to improve their internal systems:

  • Refined and expanded the employee handbook to include clear incident and conflict protocols

  • Created custom training materials that defined behavior expectations and reinforced safety responsibilities

  • Provided guidance on implementing documentation workflows for reporting and follow-up

The Outcome
With the new systems in place, employees had clarity on how to handle issues as they arose. Managers felt more supported in taking proactive steps to resolve problems and uphold safety expectations.
