Practical thinking on the issues facing Wisconsin local government, drawn from three decades of experience in public-sector HR and management. This section includes analytical tools, occasional written perspectives, and resources developed through BoldPath's consulting work.
The BoldPath HR Staffing Calculator is a research-informed, factor-based tool designed to help local governments think more clearly about HR capacity. Instead of relying on outdated “one HR person per X employees” rules, it starts with a public-sector baseline and then adjusts for real-world conditions such as compliance demands, workforce turnover, labor relations, payroll ownership, and organizational complexity. The result is not a precise prescription, but a transparent, defensible estimate that shows how specific responsibilities shape HR workload. Its purpose is simple: to support a more informed, practical conversation about what your HR function actually needs to keep up with today’s realities.
