After a rewarding career as an HR exec with top Architecture/Engineering and multinational firms, Barbara Irwin founded HR Advisors Group in 2003 to provide consulting to the A/E industry.
The vision was clear: issues around talent have always been and will continue to be the major challenge for A/E firms. Having worked with technical professionals and firm leaders over the years, Barbara knew she could help the people side of their business to flourish.
Today, HR Advisors Group is so much more than a strategic human resources consulting firm. Our clients have expanded beyond A/E firms to include tech-oriented firms, non-profits, and municipal, state, and federal agencies.
“People” initiatives will always be at the core of our work in Visioning & Strategy, Employee Engagement & Culture, Leadership Development, and HR Foundation.
We help our clients navigate challenges in a complex world and achieve distinction in their industry. We see our team as an extension of your team as we collaborate on solutions that support your values, purpose, vision, and strategy.
We value the long-lasting relationships we’ve enjoyed with our clients and are proud that 85% of our engagements are repeat business.
Barbara likes to say that “one size fits one,” and that’s how we view our consultants. Our team members have wide-ranging and diverse expertise, so we can align with your vision in every engagement—and at the same time bring our own energy, passion, and values to the table.
Helping you do what matters, create a healthy culture, and reach your potential!
That’s the story of our journey. We can’t wait to talk with you about yours.
