strategic HR, inc.

At the heart of Clark Schaefer Strategic HR lies a deeply rooted mission to better the lives of their clients, their people, and their communities. This commitment is the driving force behind their approach to human resources, viewing it not as a set of one-size-fits-all solutions, but as a collaborative partnership. The team's culture is built on a foundation of being astute listeners and leveraging their extensive expertise to develop client-focused, innovative solutions tailored to the unique needs of each organization. They operate as a seamless extension of their clients' teams, whether it's to develop, strengthen, augment, or manage their entire human resources function. This philosophy was born from humble beginnings, when founder Robin Throckmorton started the company in her basement in 1995 with a passion for solving HR challenges for small and mid-sized organizations.

The company's ethos is defined by its 'REAL Values': Respect, Excellence, Accountability, and Leadership. By showing respect, they validate the worth of others and create a basis for positive interactions. A commitment to excellence means they consistently strive for success by providing innovative ideas and practical solutions that align perfectly with client needs. Accountability is paramount; clients can rely on them to be trustworthy and to take full responsibility for the results they deliver. Leadership is demonstrated by example, with clear direction and excellent communication aimed at creating value for all stakeholders. This value-driven culture has allowed them to grow from a small startup into a recognized leader in outsourced HR, recruitment, and training. They take pride in their journey and use their own experiences as a rising business to help their clients prosper and grow, lightening their load so they can focus on what they do best.
