Work2080

Work2080 is a Chicago-based fractional HR consulting firm that helps small and medium-sized businesses, emerging startups, and nonprofits maximize the 2,080 work hours in a year by building practical, compliant, and people-centered HR foundations. The firm partners with leadership teams to design HR strategy and scalable infrastructure, creating policies, processes, and metrics that align talent practices with business goals. Core offerings span HR design, strategy, and support; compensation and benefits architecture, including equitable pay frameworks, benefits package strategy, pay reviews, and open enrollment support; compliance and risk management across local, state, and federal labor requirements, employee handbooks, HR risk assessments, workplace safety, and OSHA guidance; training and development programs covering compliance topics such as anti-harassment, ethics, and diversity and inclusion alongside upskilling, professional development, competency models, and succession planning; employee lifecycle management from onboarding and performance management to employee relations and conflict resolution, culture building and employee experience strategy, engagement, and retention; and recruitment strategy encompassing job description development, structured interview and hiring frameworks, and candidate sourcing strategies. Work2080’s delivery model is intentionally flexible: clients can engage a seasoned fractional HR leader on a monthly retainer to manage the HR vertical and provide strategic and operational leadership as they scale; commission milestone-based projects to launch policies, implement new systems, or execute compliance changes; or book hourly consults for on-demand advice and rapid issue resolution with actionable next steps. The team leverages HR metrics and analytics to measure outcomes and inform continuous improvement, ensuring every initiative is grounded in data and aligned to organizational goals. Founded by Laurie Skurow, an HR advisor with nearly two decades of experience who built the HR function as the first employee at Industrious and later consulted with Bay Area firms, the practice blends the art and science of HR—balancing law, best practice, and the nuanced realities of people management. Work2080 has supported tech startups, retail organizations, and nonprofits, delivering high-touch, collaborative guidance that reduces organizational risk, strengthens teams, and creates measurable, durable improvements in people operations.
