Who We Are

What comes to mind when you consider human resources? If you think of stuffy corporate types who only exist to put rules in place and enforce them, you haven’t worked with the right HR team — and you certainly haven’t met BlueLion!

We get it. HR can be stressful and time-consuming. How do you manage everything yourself and keep up with your obligations as an employer? Managing people problems on top of running your own business is no easy feat. But with the right HR partner, you can have peace of mind without having to be in the weeds and dealing with every human and compliance issue.

BlueLion makes HR work for everyone. When we say we’re not your typical HR company, we mean we actually do things differently. Our team has a combined experience of over 136 years, but in addition to our knowledge and experience, we take a fun, fearless, and authentic approach.

We are located in New England and servicing all of the United States.

Lighten Your Load

When you partner with BlueLion, we won’t pile on extra work or a ton of policies and procedures that could complicate things. Instead, we’ll make it as easy as possible while you take back control of your day. After all, we’re here to take headaches off your plate!

Pay for What You Need

Don’t buy bulk services that you don’t need! Choose from our flexible services and packages based on your organization’s needs. BlueLion will never lock you into a contract or pressure you to pay for unnecessary services. We will simply find the best HR solution for your business.

Trust in Experience

We’re not just any HR experts — we have significant experience in blue-collar industries, including construction, manufacturing, contractors, and trades groups. That means we understand the nuances of labor laws, requirements that apply to you, and your unique challenges.

Why Outsource Your HR

If you’re on the hunt for an HR consulting firm, you’re likely at a point where your small business is growing, and your bandwidth is shrinking. Outsourcing your HR tasks will help you:

• Save time: You and your team can focus on what they do best — not HR matters! Let the experts handle it and watch things get done much more efficiently.
• Save money: Instead of hiring full-time HR employees and paying for their ongoing training and development, you can spend a fraction of the cost for a team of experts who live and breathe this stuff!
• Reduce liability: It’s challenging to keep up with ever-changing employment laws, maintain compliance and avoid costly mistakes, but an HR consultant knows the ins and outs to help you avoid penalties and lawsuits.
• Boost employee retention: Create employee-centric processes and procedures, from standout compensation and benefits packages to performance reviews to creating a positive workplace culture.
• Ensure proper payroll: Avoid expensive errors and offload the payroll process to someone who will ensure your employees are paid correctly and on time.
• Get an outside perspective: We’ll help you spot possible gaps and opportunities for improvement and growth!

Our P.R.I.D.E.

• Personality | Each member of our team is AUTHENTIC to who we are and how we interact with our clients and partners. We understand people are inherently who they are and we meet them there to accomplish their goals.
• Real | Life is full of CONFLICT and we are not afraid. We understand people and business is difficult and we face issues and controversy head on.
• Integrity | We pride ourselves on being honest and using our best judgment to manage issues with MORAL COMPASS. We do what is right even when it is not easy.
• Different | We know when most people hear “HR” it is often followed by an eye roll, or a groan. We get it… but we are different. We are FUN and FEARLESS, and we use these qualities to make HR work for everyone.
• Experience | Our team members have over 136 years’ experience in HR and Operations, and have background in a multitude of industries, which gives us the CONFIDENCE to handle any issues that can arise in a business. Trust us – we have seen and heard it all.

Often time we describe to prospective clients what we are NOT to help them understand how we differentiate.

• We are NOT a technology company
  • You will not receive a login to a platform with an overwhelming amount of information to sift through
• We are NOT a payroll company
  • We can support you on any platform you are currently using or help your team if you are going through a migration to a new platform.
• We are NOT an insurance broker
  • Our team can assist you in making decisions when it comes to benefits and ensuring you have the right level of coverage for your business but we do not actually sell or write any policies.

We are putting the HUMAN back in Human Resources.
