About Us

 

Our Calling or the Tate Difference

Tate and Associates has one calling: to nurture people so companies thrive. We’re not talking just about human resources; we’re talking about human potential. We see the whole person, cultivating strengths, coaching areas of improvement and nurturing needs that extend outside the workplace. 

We also see your whole company – who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. We’ve helped countless organizations plant seeds of strategic greatness, grow visionary leadership teams and cultivate an environment of success.

Small Seeds to Large Trees:

We Grow Them ALL

Large Organizations

You already have a powerhouse department, but need a fresh perspective on audit, investigation or special project. Tate and Associates will fit right in with a custom plan for an entire function or a blended project, saving your staff energy and saving you money.

Mid-Size Organizations

You have a designated HR person, but she’s wearing many hats. We hear you! We’ll be at her beck and call with on-trend training and expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes or litigation.

Small Organizations

You’re a small business owner who needs to focus on your bottom line – but you know HR is a critical task. Tate and Associates can grow your HR protocols from the ground up and maintain them, until you decide to assign the responsibilities internally. (And when that time comes, we can recruit the perfect candidate, too.)
