At Uplift Operations, we serve as your Fractional Chief People Officer—helping small to mid-sized service businesses build strong leaders, engaged teams, and scalable people systems that drive real business results. This isn't HR consulting; this is fully integrated senior leadership to oversee and optimize your People strategy at the fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

We partner with founders and leadership teams to fix growth-blocking people and leadership challenges.
We provide strategic, part-time executive leadership to align talent, culture, and business goals without the overhead of a full-time C-suite hire. We're not a consultancy; we embed directly into your leadership team to build scalable, sustainable people systems that grow with your organization.

Here are just a few areas our clients save time and energy by delegating to their fractional Chief People Officer:

Every organization is unique — your goals, team structure, culture, and stage of growth all shape what kind of people leadership is needed.
Fractional CPOs work for a flat rate per month, depending on your needs and budget. There are no overhead, technology or benefits costs, no need for a physical office, and onboarding time is as little as two weeks.
