Shelley Majors

I’m a dynamic Fractional CHRO and Executive Coach with over 25 years of experience supporting professionals and organizations through strategic transitions, business launches, and leadership development. I help founders clarify direction, structure operations, and implement compliant, scalable systems—bringing clarity, confidence, and actionable guidance to entrepreneurs and executives.

As President and Owner of Boardwalk Human Resources Consulting, I deliver strategic fractional HR services aligned to corporate objectives and measurable business success. I also coach executives, HR professionals, and founders who are launching or scaling businesses, focusing on organizational structure, leadership development, strategic decision-making, and long-term growth planning.

My work spans strategic HR management (benefits programs, internal/external 401(k) and HR audits, and state/federal compliance), full-cycle recruiting, and HR M&A integration (due diligence, role mapping, contract harmonization, and cultural alignment to achieve headcount synergies). I streamline HR operations through HR technology integration, optimizing UKG, ADP, Paycor, Paycom, and Workday for efficiency and user adoption.

I’m known for driving data-driven decision making, compliance initiatives, and smooth change management. I spearheaded wage and hour audits and multi-state handbook updates to reduce legal risk, led ES integration plans, and mentored HR teams to meet tight timelines during high-volume deal integrations—while supporting executive and startup coaching that helps leaders refine strategy and execute with clarity.
