HR Basics+ helps businesses stay compliant, organized, visible and fully staffed. 

All the benefits of an HR department, without the overhead.

Hi, I'm Emma Graves, CHRP, JHSC, founder of HR Basics+.

After years of leading HR, OHS and Marketing initiatives across: construction, hospitality, pharmaceutical, and consulting industries, I saw how many businesses were juggling compliance, people management, and growth, all on their own.

HR Basics+ was built to take that weight off your shoulders. I simplify the systems so you can focus on your craft.

Emma Graves holds a certificate in Advance Human Resources Law for Senior HR Executives from Osgoode Hall Law School.
