Two Years In: The Reality, the Lessons, 

and the Road Ahead

by Purciarele Group

When Purciarele Group launched two years ago, I didn’t have all the answers. What I did have was over 30 years of HR experience, a belief that small businesses deserved better than cookie-cutter solutions, and a determination to prove that HR could be approachable, practical, and—dare I say it—human.

Now, two years later, we’re still standing. Still growing. And more energized than ever about what’s ahead.

But let’s be honest: it hasn’t all been easy.

The Ups and Downs No One Warns You About

Running a business is a wild ride. There were months when I felt unstoppable—helping clients navigate tough employee issues, building handbooks from scratch, even stepping in to run entire offices remotely during emergencies. And there were months when I sat at my desk wondering, Is this really going to work?

The highs:

  • ✨ Clients who trusted us with their most sensitive challenges

  • ✨ Policies that brought peace of mind to business owners

  • ✨ Watching businesses scale with HR as a strategic partner—not a roadblock

The lows:

  • ⬇️ Long nights of self-doubt and second-guessing

  • ⬇️ Hearing “no” when I needed a “yes”

  • ⬇️ Struggling to grow brand awareness while managing the day-to-day grind

Still, the ups always outweighed the downs. Every challenge taught us something. Every small win fueled the next step forward.

What We’ve Built in Two Years

In just 24 months, Purciarele Group has grown into more than a consulting firm—we’ve become a trusted partner for small businesses across the U.S.

We’ve supported teams from two to fifty, in industries ranging from retail to nonprofits. We’ve created custom policies, training programs, performance reviews, and culture checks that actually fit the client—not templates pulled off a shelf.

We’ve earned a reputation as the “nice HR folks”—a brand built not on fear and rules, but on clarity, trust, and partnership.

And through it all, we’ve stayed true to our tagline: We love HR so you don’t have to™.

Year Three: The Road Ahead

As we step into year three, our vision is clear: bigger impact, stronger partnerships, and more businesses supported than ever before.

We’re doubling down on fractional HR—because small businesses deserve expert support without the full-time price tag. We’re expanding our toolkits and resources, making it easier for business owners to stay compliant and confident. We’re telling more real stories—case studies, lessons learned, and maybe even a little humor—because HR doesn’t have to be scary.

Most importantly, we’re helping more business owners stop second-guessing themselves and start leading with confidence.

A Moment of Gratitude

To every client, referral partner, colleague, and cheerleader—thank you. This milestone isn’t just about Purciarele Group. It’s about the businesses we’ve supported, the people we’ve partnered with, and the communities we’re proud to serve.

Here’s to Year Three

The past two years taught me that building a business isn’t about arriving—it’s about evolving. There’s no finish line. Just growth, grit, and the belief that the best is yet to come.

So here’s to year three: showing up, helping businesses thrive, and proving every day that HR doesn’t have to be hard.

Because at Purciarele Group, We love HR so you don’t have to™.

✨ Two years down, a lifetime to go. Ready to make year three your strongest yet? Let’s build the HR foundation your business deserves.

HR Red Flags You're Ignoring—Until It's Too Late

HR Red Flags You're Ignoring—Until It's Too Late By Purciarele Group – HR Simplified! Some business problems announce themselves with sirens. Others start with a whisper: a missed deadline, a frustrated employee, an awkward silence in a meeting. Too often, leaders dismiss these as “normal growing pains” or “people stuff that will work itself out.” Spoiler alert: it won’t. And by the time you're forced to act, it’s already cost you— in morale, productivity, reputation, or turnover. We've seen it all. These five HR red flags are the quiet killers of great teams. And if you're seeing any of them? It's time to stop ignoring and start addressing. 🚩 1. Your Best Employee Has Gone Quiet They used to take initiative, offer ideas, and mentor others. Now? They’re doing the bare minimum, logging off early, or making passive comments like, “I’m just keeping my head down these days.” What it really means: Disengagement is setting in. They’ve lost trust in lea...

Unmasking Passive Toxicity Before It Undermines Your Culture

The Most Dangerous Person in Your Workplace Might Be ‘Nice’ Unmasking Passive Toxicity Before It Undermines Your Culture When you hear “toxic employee,” you probably picture someone who yells, resists authority, or blatantly pushes boundaries. They’re disruptive, loud, and unmistakable. But there’s another kind of toxicity—one that’s far more dangerous because it hides in plain sight. It’s the employee who smiles in meetings, avoids conflict, and presents as “easygoing” or “supportive.” They’re often described as nice —and on the surface, they probably are. But dig deeper, and you may discover that this same person is quietly derailing your team through passive-aggressive behaviors, manipulation, or strategic avoidance. This is passive toxicity —and it can do just as much damage, if not more, than overt misconduct. What Passive Toxicity Looks Like This kind of behavior doesn’t always leave obvious footprints, but over time, it corrodes trust, collaboration, and performance. You...

HR & the Spirit of Summer

 ☀️ HR & the Spirit of Summer: Bringing a Little Sunshine Back to the Workplace Do you remember what June used to feel like? The countdown to the last day of school. The sound of flip-flops smacking against the pavement. Ice cream trucks blaring their music down suburban streets. Sleepovers. Sprinklers. Fireflies. Long days at the pool followed by even longer nights of freedom. Summer wasn’t just a season—it was a feeling. Then… you grew up. And June became just another month on the calendar—packed with meetings, deadlines, and quarterly goals. Summer break turned into “business as usual,” with the whimsy buried under piles of paperwork, overflowing inboxes, and calendars blocked from 9 to 5. But what if summer didn’t have to vanish? What if we could bring some of that childhood magic back—right into the workplace? As an HR consulting firm that partners with businesses across the country, we hear the same thing over and over again from leaders and employees alike: burnout does...
