Morton People & Culture Consulting LLC

Hi, I'm Allie!
I'm the founder of Morton People & Culture Consulting, where I help startups build the People foundations they need to scale — without missing a beat on culture along the way.I'd love to work with you, shoot me an email to connect.

My Approach

I partner with growing companies to build thoughtful, scalable People & Culture functions — from the ground up or wherever you currently stand. My approach is hands-on and tailored to your stage, your team, and your goals, whether that means rolling up my sleeves on day-to-day HR operations or stepping in as a strategic partner to your leadership team.With 12+ years building and scaling HR functions inside remote-first startups — including growing one company from 60 to 500 employees through international expansion and acquisitions — I bring real experience across the full employee lifecycle: talent management, performance, engagement, DEIB, manager training, and employee relations.My goal is to leave you with the systems, clarity, and confidence to support a team that does its best work.What I help with:

  • Building HR programs and processes from scratch

  • Performance management systems and cycles

  • Employee engagement strategy and surveys

  • Manager training and coaching

  • Employee relations and HR compliance

  • People operations and HR systems/tooling

  • HR Tech implementations

  • Remote and hybrid culture-building

  • Internal events and off-site planning

FAQ

Where do we begin?
Every partnership starts with a quick conversation about where your company is today and what kind of support would help most — whether that's a single project, ongoing fractional support, or coverage during a transition. From there, I'll put together a clear plan built around your stage and priorities.What are your rates?
My hourly rate ranges from $150-$225, depending on the scope and nature of the work — tactical/execution projects fall toward the lower end, strategic advisory work toward the higher end. For a first engagement, I also offer project-based pricing (like a flat-fee HR audit or starter deliverable) so you can get to know how we work together before committing to an ongoing relationship. I'll always walk you through pricing up front and get your approval before we begin.How long do engagements typically last?
It varies. Some clients bring me in for a defined project — building out a performance process, launching an engagement survey, standing up onboarding — that wraps in a few weeks to a few months. Others work with me on an ongoing, fractional basis for continued People leadership. We'll shape the timeline around what your company actually needs.Do you work with companies outside Washington?
Yes — I work with startups regardless of where they're headquartered, typically companies in the 0-300 employee range.
