Hi - I’m Erin!
As the Founder & Principal Consultant I'm passionate about helping small businesses navigate the people side of running a business. Whether that's hiring your next employee, supporting your leaders, or working through the day-to-day challenges that come with managing a team.
At the end of the day, people are at the heart of every successful business.
Why I Do What I Do
You don't need to know all the HR answers. You just need to know who to call.
Over the years, I've seen how quickly the people side of a business can become complicated. Maybe an employee isn't meeting expectations. Maybe you're hiring your first employee and aren't sure where to start. Maybe a situation has come up that you've never dealt with before and you just need to talk it through with someone who knows employment and human rights legislation.
You shouldn't have to figure it all out on your own.
That's where Camton comes in.
I started Camton Consulting to provide practical, approachable HR support to small and growing businesses. Giving business owners someone they can turn to for advice, guidance, and a little peace of mind when the people side of the business gets complicated.
My Approach
Practical advice. Honest conversations. No unnecessary HR jargon.
Every business is different, and there's rarely a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to people. I take the time to understand your business, your team, and what you're trying to accomplish before recommending a path forward.
How I Work
Listen first.
Before jumping to a solution, I want to understand what's really going on.
Keep it practical.
You'll get advice you can actually use! (Not a 20-page HR report when you really just needed to know what to do next)
Tell you what I think.
Sometimes you need someone to validate your thinking. Sometimes you need someone to challenge it. I'm comfortable doing both.
Keep people at the centre.
HR is ultimately about people. I believe you can make sound business decisions while still treating people with respect and fairness.
Experience you can count on.
With more than 15 years of experience in Human Resources, I've had the opportunity to work alongside leaders and employees through all kinds of workplace situations. From hiring and onboarding to performance conversations, employee relations, policy development, and leadership support.
I've worked in both hands-on and leadership roles, giving me a practical understanding of what HR looks like from different perspectives. I've also spent several years working remotely, so I'm comfortable building strong working relationships whether we're sitting at the same table or connecting from afar.
Experience across industries.
I've had the opportunity to work with organizations across a variety of industries, including:
Healthcare
Construction & trades
Education
Non-profit organizations
Corporate environments
Small and growing businesses
That variety has taught me that while every workplace is different, many of the people challenges businesses face are surprisingly similar.
Employment Legislation.
Comfortable navigating employment legislation across Canada and the United States.
I’m familiar with the employment standards, human rights, workplace requirements, and HR considerations that come with supporting employees and businesses across Canada and the United States.
Local roots. Flexible reach.
Based in Alberta, but not limited to Alberta. I'm comfortable working with clients remotely, in person, or a combination of both, whatever works best for your business.
