Your HR leader, when you need one

Built for businesses that have outgrown “someone handling HR.”

Growing organizations eventually reach a point where people decisions become business decisions. Hiring, benefits, compliance, performance, compensation and employee issues need experienced ownership — but another full-time executive may not make sense yet.

Banach HR & Benefits Consulting provides fractional and project-based HR leadership that plugs into your business, works with your existing partners and systems, and gets the work done.

A different kind of fractional HR partner.

Most HR consultants can help with policies and employee relations. Far fewer understand the economics underneath your health plan.

That means one partner for people strategy and benefits strategy: self-funded plans, medical stop-loss, TPAs, PBMs, claims analytics, vendor management, cost containment and total rewards.

Tomasz Banach, founder of Banach HR & Benefits Consulting

Tomasz is an HR leader with 14+ years of experience across growing companies, healthcare, benefits, professional services and entrepreneurial environments. He has built HR functions, advised executives, led recruiting and performance programs, managed benefits and payroll, and worked deeply in the self-funded healthcare ecosystem.

His approach combines executive-level thinking with hands-on execution — because smaller and growing businesses rarely need another person telling them what should be done. They need someone who can actually do it.
