What We’re About

Our talents and experience are diverse, but at Deep Dive HR Consulting, we’re united by one thing: an overarching passion for getting it right.

Every day we make many decisions about how to best advise you, our clients. Our diversity is our superpower — taking business cases from the various industries we support, keeping abreast of changes in federal, state, and local laws, staying plugged-in to the needs of today’s managers and employees. We provide the high-level insight into your People, Processes, and Product without the full-time presence or cost associated with a permanent HR department.

An engaged team is a strong team: Each business is made up with a multi-generational network of individual contributors that need a framework, tools, and support to be their best-selves at work. Our expertise spans areas including strategic planning, design thinking, employee engagement, leadership coaching, training initiatives, technology deployment, benefit plan design, and payroll. We are fluent in English, Español, and Gen Alpha.

For more than 15 years, Joel worked internally as an operations and HR professional and as an external consultant primarily in the non-profit space. A growing family provided fresh incentive to shake things up a bit (and spend a lot less time on the road!) and Joel Bennett Consulting was born in late 2019. Supporting businesses through the transition to remote work in the hard lockdowns of 2020, creating communities of support for team members struggling with the brutality and racism of the summer of 2020, and creating a safe path towards resuming “regular” programming would mark JBC’s first year in business. And now? We’ve gone a level deeper. Read about Deep Dive HR Consulting.
