Fractional HR Solutions Help Texas Businesses Manage Growth & Reduce Risk

Melissa, Texas (Newsworthy.ai) Wednesday Feb 25, 2026 @ 12:30 PM US/Central —

As Texas continues to experience significant economic growth, many small to medium-sized businesses face challenges in managing human resources, compliance, and employee-related risks. In a recent interview on The Building Texas Show, Neil Katz, CEO of Exceptional HR Solutions, explained how fractional HR services provide expert support without the cost of a full-time department.

Managing Growth and Reducing Risk
With over 25 years of HR experience, Katz emphasizes that business owners often spend 10–50% of their time on people-related issues, diverting focus from core operations. Fractional HR services help companies navigate hiring, onboarding, investigations, compensation, and compliance, allowing leaders to focus on growth.

Critical Focus: Employee vs. Contractor Classification
A major area of risk for Texas businesses is the misclassification of employees as 1099 contractors. Katz warns that if a worker uses company email, equipment, or receives majority income from one employer, they should likely be classified as a W-2 employee.

Serving Municipalities and Small Businesses
Exceptional HR Solutions also supports municipalities, such as the City of Bonham, providing expertise without the overhead of a full-time HR director. Katz highlights that fractional services are ideal for small cities and businesses that need professional HR support but lack the budget for a dedicated department.
