This Founder’s Bold Move: Tonika Starks Turned TRHR Consulting Into a Trust-Building HR Powerhouse

TRHR Consulting has a steady commitment to helping organizations create people-first systems that actually work. Founded in 2019, the company has grown into a trusted remote HR consulting partner for organizations seeking clarity, compliance, and confidence in how they support their workforce.

A Purpose-Driven Approach to Modern HR Support

TRHR Consulting operates as a fully remote HR consulting company, delivering end-to-end human resources support to organizations across the United States. Their services span coaching, consulting, fractional HR support, recruiting, and outsourced leave management through their newest offering, Leave Point. From the beginning, the firm has focused on building long-term partnerships rather than offering one-off solutions.

The company was founded by Tonika Starks, MBA-HRM, SHRM-SCP, a senior-level human resources professional with experience across non-profit organizations, healthcare systems, startups, and higher education. Her background brings practical insight into how HR functions in real workplaces, especially those with limited internal resources. TRHR Consulting is based in Buckeye, Arizona, while serving clients remotely, making expert HR support accessible regardless of location.

At its core, TRHR Consulting believes that people remain the most valuable asset within any organization. Every engagement begins with understanding a client’s culture, goals, and challenges. That understanding shapes tailored HR strategies designed to improve employee engagement, support leadership teams, and strengthen organizational stability.

Comprehensive HR Services That Adapt to Your Needs

TRHR Consulting offers a broad range of services designed to meet organizations where they are. Their fractional HR services allow businesses to access senior-level HR expertise without the cost of a full-time hire. Leadership advising supports executives and managers as they navigate complex people decisions. Policy development, implementation, and revision ensure organizations stay aligned with current regulations while reflecting their values.

Compensation structure creation and revision help organizations remain competitive and fair. HR compliance management and workplace training reduce risk while strengthening internal knowledge. Workplace investigations are handled with discretion, consistency, and care, protecting both employees and the organization.

A distinguishing factor is the firm’s emphasis on ethical practices and transparency. Clients receive clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and ongoing support throughout every phase of the engagement. The team remains committed to continuous learning, staying current with HR trends, regulations, and best practices to ensure clients benefit from informed, up-to-date solutions.

Leave Point: Specialized Support for Employee Leave Management

This month marks the launch of Leave Point, a specialized service developed under TRHR Consulting to address one of the most challenging areas of HR administration. Leave Point was created after witnessing firsthand how overwhelming leave compliance can be for small HR teams and departments of one.

Leave Point focuses on simplifying employee leave management while maintaining compliance with FMLA, ADA accommodations, and state-specific leave laws. The service combines expert strategy, consistent documentation, and clear communication to protect both organizations and employees.

Key offerings include full-service FMLA compliance administration, ADA interactive process coordination, customized leave tracking and reporting, documentation and policy guidance, and HR leave consultation. Rather than relying on impersonal systems, every case is supported by an experienced HR professional who understands the human impact behind each request.

Leave Point serves HR departments of one, nonprofit organizations with limited internal bandwidth, and mid-sized businesses navigating complex leave laws for the first time. Acting as a discreet extension of the internal team, Leave Point ensures every leave request is handled with care, accuracy, and empathy.

Leadership Rooted in Experience and Trust

Tonika Starks leads TRHR Consulting with a steady focus on relationship-building and accountability. Her senior-level experience across diverse industries informs a practical, people-centered approach to HR. Clients benefit from guidance grounded in real-world application rather than theory.

Trust and open communication form the foundation of every client relationship. Organizations are supported at every step, from strategy development to execution, with clarity and consistency. This approach has allowed TRHR Consulting to create meaningful impact while helping businesses grow and thrive.
