About Newman HR
Practical, pragmatic, humane HR for small and mid-sized organizations across Kitchener–Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph — built on Frank Newman’s 50 years in the field.
With Newman Human Resources as your HR partner, you get senior HR judgment suited to your business — not theory, and not a template. Frank and his team of associates can work through almost any people issue, from compliance and policy to hiring, performance, health & safety and change, tailored to your circumstances.
We work with organizations of every shape across Southwestern Ontario — manufacturers, agri-business, professional firms, clinics and not-for-profits — wherever there’s a workforce and a decision that matters.
What makes Newman HR different
A “do the right thing” approach
Practical, realistic, common-sense HR from someone who has seen it before — “we can fix it,” and help you grow.
Built around small business
We understand the small-business owner, and shape solutions that fit how you actually run.
50 years in the field
Through good and bad business cycles, across many industries — judgment you can’t shortcut.
