PELTO HR Advisory Services – Built for Independent Practices

Empowering Independent Practices with Strategic HR Support

The healthcare workforce is evolving—and so are the demands placed on independent practices. From recruiting top talent to navigating complex compliance requirements, today's HR leaders are expected to do more with less. That’s where PELTO’s Advisory Services come in.

At PELTO, we understand that every practice is different. Some need guidance building foundational systems. Others need expert input on compensation models, recruiting strategies, or multi-state compliance. Many don’t need a full-time CHRO, but all can benefit from seasoned HR leadership that understands the unique dynamics of independent care.

PELTO’s HR Advisory Services are purpose-built to fill these gaps. Led by Amanda Gleason, our fractional CHRO (fCHRO), PELTO provides customizable solutions across the full spectrum of human resources—from culture and compliance to compensation and workforce strategy.

Q & A with fCHRO, Amanda Gleason

• Q: What makes PELTO’s HR Advisory Services different from a typical consulting firm?

  Amanda: Our advisors don’t just understand HR—they understand HR in independent healthcare. We bring hands-on, practical expertise grounded in the day-to-day realities of private practice operations. Plus, our support flexes with your needs—whether that’s executive-level strategy or tactical, project-based work.on text goes here

• Q: What does “fractional” support actually look like?

  Amanda: Fractional means you get the leadership without the full-time overhead. For example, we can step in as a fractional CHRO to lead your people strategy, coach department leads, or assess your compensation model—all in a scoped, flexible engagement. You’re not locked into long-term contracts, and we work alongside your existing team to build internal capability.

• Q: What are some common challenges you’ve helped practices solve?

  Amanda: We’ve helped organizations restructure leadership teams, overhaul performance management, and revamp recruiting strategies. We’ve also led HRIS implementations, multi-state policy reviews, and created scalable onboarding programs designed to build engagement and retention.  Every solution is tailored to fit the practice’s goals, size, and stage of growth.

• Q: Do I have to be a PELTO member to use Advisory Services?

  Amanda: Not at all! We work with both member and non-member practices. It’s part of our mission to support independent healthcare more broadly. In fact, Advisory Services are often a great way for practices to explore collaboration with PELTO before formally joining the network.

Whether your practice is preparing for growth, navigating leadership transitions, or simply needs HR expertise without a full-time hire, PELTO provides flexible, strategic support to meet you where you are.
