Prescott HR, Inc.

Kimberly Prescott has grown Prescott HR, Inc., an outsourced human resources (HR) firm, from a solopreneur business to a growing enterprise and was herself named 2022 Businessperson of the Year by the Howard County Chamber of Commerce. Prescott credits the company’s success to an aggressive growth mindset and an amazing team of professionals, including Vice President of Operations Valerie Dzbynski, who ensures that all clients and consultants have the support and resources they need. The firm’s tag line is “Unintimidated HR.” This means Prescott HR professionals tell clients what they need to know, not what they want to hear. This aligns with the firm’s mission to proactively partner with clients by tackling their HR obstacles, so they can thrive.

Small to mid-sized businesses may not need a full-time internal HR resource, but do need someone trained in HR compliance, employee relations, strategy, and all aspects of human resources. Enter Prescott HR, which provides fractional HR managers/directors to businesses with 15-100 employees. Prescott HR’s services include practice audits, interim HR support, outsourced HR services, benefits design, HRIS implementation, payroll, employee relations, workplace investigations, progressive discipline, performance appraisal systems, business strategy alignment, and organizational structure design.

This is a dynamic time to be in the HR industry. “Many clients are still considering the implications of remote and hybrid work, increased wages, and the shrinking talent pool,” says Prescott. Her team of HR professionals is able to help clients navigate these and other HR matters.

An active community member, Prescott is on the boards of Leadership Howard County, Girl Scouts of Central Maryland, XPX Maryland, and Maryland Free Enterprise Foundation. Additionally, she is the chair of the Labor and Employment subcommittee of the Howard County Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Labor and Employment Committee for the Maryland Chamber of Commerce.
