Three Streams of HR

Human Resources is seemingly simple. The reality is HR is a complex mix of compliance, performance and interpersonal interactions that can easily overwhelm business leaders with a flood of challenges.

HR is essentially three, parallel, concurrent and constant streams of work: the Administrative stream, the Developmental stream and the Relational stream.

Administrative – Compliance, policies, payroll, and risk management. These are the foundations that keep your organization legally sound and operationally stable.

Developmental – Training, performance management, succession planning, and leadership development. This is how you invest in your people to build long-term capability and resilience.

Relational – Culture, engagement, communication, and trust. These are the elements that turn a workplace into a community and drive retention, innovation, and purpose.

High-performing organizations don't just manage HR—they balance these three streams strategically. When one stream dominates, employee growth, morale, or compliance can easily sink.

At Loomis HR Consulting, we help organizations align these streams to build systems that are compliant, people-centered, and future-ready. Whether you need interim HR leadership, a cultural reset, or strategic support, we can help you navigate the right course.

Let's make sure your HR is driving performance—not just flooding your in box.
