Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle conflicts between family members?
We use a neutral, structured process with agreed guardrails, documented decision rights, and clear follow‑through.
What's the difference between Family Business HR Consulting and your Fractional CHRO service?
Fractional CHRO is an operating role usually for 9- days where an experienced HR leader who sits inside your business part-time, running HR like a member of the leadership team. Family Business HR Consulting, on the other hand, is broader: it covers succession planning, governance, and conflict resolution between family and non-family stakeholders - work that often sits alongside or before a fractional CHRO engagement, not instead of it. Many family enterprises start here and bring in a fractional CHRO once governance and succession are clarified.
What does family business HR consulting cost?
Engagements are scoped to the family business's size and the specific mandate whether is covers succession planning, HR systems design, coaching, or mediation rather than sold as a fixed package. Most family enterprises start with a confidential diagnostic, then move to a 90-day pilot before scaling. As a reference point, our broader fractional HR and CHRO engagements typically start around ₹3 lakh per month on a six-month retainer or project basis; family business mandates are quoted after the initial diagnostic once scope is clear.
What does a succession roadmap include?
Role charters, transition timelines, KPIs, communication plan, and governance triggers.
Can we professionalize HR without replacing family leaders?
Yes. We design systems that support family and non‑family roles with clear criteria, not titles.
How long does a pilot take?
90 days for Diagnose–Design–Deliver, followed by quarterly scale‑ups.
Is our information confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality‑first is baked into every engagement.
