What types of businesses do you work with?

We work with small to mid-sized businesses across Illinois and beyond. Our clients range from construction and manufacturing companies to professional services, local governments, and small business owners who want to stay compliant without hiring a full-time HR or Safety Manager.

Do you only serve Illinois businesses?

We primarily serve clients throughout Illinois, offering in-person services in Bloomington, Champaign, Decatur, Springfield, and Peoria. However, we also provide fully remote HR and safety consulting statewide and support clients across the U.S. who need guidance on federal compliance, OSHA standards, and HR best practices.

Do you offer free consultations or initial assessments?

Yes, we offer a free initial consultation to help you determine whether our services are the right fit for your business. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your organization’s current HR or safety needs, review any existing challenges, and identify areas where we can provide support or improvement.

What does it mean to have “outsourced HR”?

Outsourced HR means that instead of hiring a full-time HR professional, your business can partner with Midwest HR & Risk Consulting to handle HR and safety functions externally.
We manage your compliance, policies, training, and employee issues so you can focus on running your business at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

What makes you different from other HR consulting firms?

We combine HR, safety, and legal compliance expertise.. something most firms don’t offer together.
We’re also local to Central Illinois, meaning we understand the unique needs of Illinois employers. Plus, our professionals hold national certifications through HRCI and SHRM, ensuring our practices meet the highest professional standards.

Can you help with OSHA compliance and safety programs?

Yes. We provide customized workplace safety programs, written safety manuals, OSHA training, inspections, and risk management support. Our goal is to help you prevent injuries, avoid costly fines, and build a culture of safety in your organization.

Do you offer onsite training?

Absolutely. We provide onsite and virtual training for employees and supervisors on topics like HR compliance, workplace safety, harassment prevention, and leadership. Training is always tailored to your organization’s size, industry, and needs.

Are your services long-term contracts or flexible?

We offer flexible options to fit your business ranging from one-time projects and short-term consulting packages to ongoing partnerships. You can start small and scale as your organization grows.

What if we already have an HR person on staff?

That’s great! Many of our clients use us as an extension of their HR team. We can support your staff with special projects, safety program development, compliance audits, or employee relations guidance.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on your company size and scope of services. We offer tiered consulting packages for businesses of all sizes, with transparent pricing and no surprise fees.
Our plans are designed to be cost-effective compared to the salary of a full-time HR or Safety Manager, saving you thousands each year.

Why should my business outsource HR and safety?

Because HR and safety compliance can be complex and time-consuming.
Outsourcing ensures you’re staying compliant with employment laws, OSHA regulations, and best practices, while freeing you up to focus on running and growing your business. You’ll also have certified professionals on your side—without the overhead.
