The Glover & Co. Concierge · Subscription

The HR work you can do yourself. Built so you actually can.

A working library of tools for the moments that land on an owner's desk — a write-up, a coaching conversation, a role that needs defining. Each one built from thirteen years of doing this in-house, so what you produce is the same thing I would have written.

Free · Connecticut employers

Every job posting in Connecticut changes on October 1.

The wage range and a benefits description go in the posting itself — for every employer, no exceptions. Start with the free ten-step checklist; the full kit is included with your membership.

Ten founding seats are open at $99 a month — that rate is held for the life of the subscription.

Every membership includes The Open Hour — one live hour with me, every month.

What this actually is

Not software with an HR theme.

Most owner-run businesses don't need a full HR department. They need the right words in the right document on a Tuesday afternoon, and they need to know the document won't come back to bite them.

So the Concierge isn't a template folder and it isn't a chatbot pointed at an employment law PDF. It's the sequence of questions I'd ask you if you called — what happened, what's already been said, what you've done for someone else in the same spot — turned into tools that produce the document at the end of it.

The judgment is the product. The tool is how it gets to you at two in the morning without an invoice attached.

You're not paying senior rates for me to retype what I already know.

  • iOwner-run businesses with 10–75 people and no HR seat
  • iiOffice managers and practice administrators carrying HR alongside everything else
  • iiiFounders who want the paper trail right the first time
  • ivAnyone who's been quoted for an HR platform and found it built for a company four times their size
Inside the library

What you get on day one.

Every tool ends in something you can print, sign, or hand to a manager.

Start here

Where to Start

The front door. Describe what's happening in plain language and it routes you — to the right tool, the right sequence, or straight to counsel when the situation calls for a lawyer rather than a form.

Ends with: your next step, named
Documentation

The PIP Builder

Performance improvement plans that hold up. Measurable expectations, a real timeline, defined support, and a stated consequence — built in the order that keeps the document defensible instead of decorative.

Ends with: a signature-ready PIP
Development

The Coaching Plan Builder

For the situation that isn't discipline yet and shouldn't be. Structures the conversation, the follow-through, and the record — so a first-time manager can run it without making it worse.

Ends with: a coaching plan and a check-in cadence
Retention

Spot Recognition

Specific, credible recognition in about thirty seconds. The kind that names the actual behavior instead of thanking someone for their hard work — which is the version people remember.

Ends with: a message you can send as-is
System of record

The Role Library

Job descriptions that become your org chart. Define a role once and it stays — versioned, current, and connected to who reports to whom. Built up through normal hiring rather than a project you have to schedule.

Ends with: a structure you can export
Members hub

Everything in one place

The hub holds the full library, your saved work, the monthly note, the date and link for the next Open Hour, and the booking link for a working session when you want one. New tools appear there the day they ship.

Ends with: you knowing where things are

The library grows. Newest in: The Season Ramp Planner — for businesses that staff up for a season, it schedules the whole hiring ramp backward from opening day, starting with calls to the people who worked it last year. In preview for members now. A written warning builder and a turnover cost calculator are next in the queue; members get every addition at no change in price.

The one that compounds

Your org chart, assembled by accident.

A job description is a structural record. A job posting is just one rendering of it — and most businesses only ever produce the posting, which is why nobody can answer who actually owns this two years later.

The Role Library keeps the record. Every role you define through normal hiring gets versioned and dated, holds its place in the reporting structure, and stays put when someone leaves. Exports carry a date stamp, so you always know how current the picture is.

At Concierge level you can build out owners and their direct reports — the layer where most owner-run businesses actually live. Depth beyond that opens up inside an engagement, because that's the point where structure stops being a document problem and starts being a design one.

Most clients don't set out to build an org chart. They just hire five times, and find they have one.

The honest part

Where the tools stop.

Every tool in the library has a point where it hands the situation back. Knowing where that line sits is most of what makes them safe to use.

A performance problem with a clear standard and a willing manager
The builder handles it end to end.
A complaint involving a protected class, retaliation, or an investigation
The tool stops and tells you to call counsel. It will not draft around it.
The same problem in three different roles, or a manager who keeps needing the same document
That's structural. It's a Readiness Read, not a form.
A termination, a reduction, or anything with a severance question attached
Book a working session, or bring in a lawyer. Sometimes both.

This isn't a limitation I'm apologizing for — it's the design. A tool that never says stop is a tool that will eventually help you write something you can't take back. When you hit one of these, the escalation is right there: a working session at $250, or a conversation about whether the underlying structure is what needs fixing.

The human part

And once a month, a person picks it back up.

The Open Hour — the piece of this that isn't a tool.

One hour a month, live, with me.

Sixty minutes, the second Wednesday of every month at noon Eastern. Everyone on the same call, cameras optional. The link lives in the hub, and the date goes out with the monthly note.

The library runs at two in the morning. I don't. So once a month there's an hour where the Concierge has a person in it — no agenda beyond what members bring.

Bring the thing you're stuck on. A document you drafted and want a second read on. A manager conversation you're dreading. A question you'd feel silly paying someone to answer. Most of what lands on an owner's desk isn't rare — it only feels rare when it's yours, and the fastest cure for that is hearing four other people ask a version of the same thing.

What it's for

General questions — the kind where the answer is useful to everyone listening. Included in every membership, at every tier, at no additional charge.

What it isn't

It's a group call, so it isn't the place for a named employee, a live investigation, or anything you'd want kept between us. That's a working session: one to one, your documents, confidential, $250.

Live only. Nothing is recorded — which is the whole reason people ask the real question.

Reviewed quarterly

The library is reviewed every quarter against current employment law, across every state members operate in. A stated cadence I can keep — not a claim of real-time monitoring that nobody can honestly make.

Three business days

Access and account questions get an answer within three business days. Working sessions are booked within a week. If something needs a faster answer than that, it probably needs a session.

A person behind it

Everything here was built by Erin Glover, SHRM-SCP — thirteen years of in-house HR across manufacturing, high-growth lending, and Fortune 500 insurance. Not licensed, not white-labeled.

Not legal advice. Glover & Co. provides human resources guidance, not legal counsel — in every tool, without exception. When a situation needs a lawyer, the tool says so and stops.

Included, not free. The Concierge is included at no additional charge inside paid engagements — one month with a Readiness Read, two months with the Foundation, and ongoing with a retainer.

The Open Hour. One hour on the second Wednesday of each month, live and group format, included at every tier. It isn't recorded, and because other members are on the call it isn't confidential — anything specific to a named employee belongs in a working session. The link lives in the hub; if a month's date has to move, members get the new one with the monthly note.

Not included: payroll, benefits administration, recruiting delivery, and legal representation.

Cancellation. Cancel anytime from the hub. Access runs through the end of the period you've paid for; work you've already produced is yours to keep.
