Next Level Strategies gives small and mid-sized employers the same quality of HR guidance that large companies have in house. For more than two decades, we have helped companies and organizations stay compliant, build strong teams, and handle difficult workplace situations with confidence. Every client is paired with a dedicated lead consultant who knows their business, supported by certified specialists in compliance, payroll, recruiting, and leadership coaching. Whether you need ongoing support or help with a single project, we meet you where you are.
Integrity in every recommendation we make. Quality work tailored to your business and your people. Service from a team that knows you by name and is always within reach.
Certified HR consultants, certified payroll professionals, certified safety specialists, and leadership coaches. Every one is an NLS employee, and each brings real business experience to your account.
Senior HR Consultants: Employee relations, performance management, terminations and reductions in force, handbooks, and day-to-day guidance for your managers. Every senior consultant on our team is certified SPHR, PHRca, and SHRM.
Payroll Specialists: Payroll setup, transitions, audits, and cleanup, including the wage-and-hour details that California employers get wrong most often. Our payroll team includes Certified Payroll Professionals (CPPs), so your numbers are handled by people who hold the industry’s highest payroll credential.
Support and Recruiting Teams: Our dedicated recruiting team provides hands-on support and guidance to help you attract, identify, and hire talented people by developing effective job descriptions and ads, sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, and more.
Leadership Coaching: Anyone can call themselves a coach. Ours are certified leadership coaches who also come from strategic HR and business backgrounds, so the guidance they give your leaders is grounded in how organizations actually run. We offer one-on-one coaching for founders, executives, middle managers, and newly promoted managers, plus management training built for your team rather than pulled off a shelf.
You are assigned a lead consultant. That person learns your company culture, employee names, policies, history, and your risk areas. They stay with you. And if your lead is ever tied up, someone on our team who knows your account is always available, so you always have coverage when you need it.
