Helping Your South Dakota Business Succeed

Maintaining a compliant and thriving workplace in South Dakota requires close attention to HR policies and state-specific regulations. Unfortunately, many business owners don’t have the time to manage every HR detail. Overlooking essential policies—like employee benefits, workplace culture, or compliance with state and federal laws—can undermine your organization’s success.

At AlignHR, we’ve got you covered.

We provide comprehensive support for entire HR departments, individual employees, or non-HR professionals. Whether you need a full-service HR department or just trusted advice from a reputable source, you determine the level of support, and we deliver unmatched service.

We serve clients across South Dakota, from the Black Hills to the Great Plains. Whether you’re in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, or Aberdeen, AlignHR understands the unique challenges and opportunities in South Dakota, giving us a distinct advantage in addressing your HR needs.

It doesn't matter if you need a fully managed HR department or assistance with a specific HR project, we align your business needs with industry best practices to provide the highest level of service.

Our services include:

  1. Fully managed HR departments
  2. Outsourced or fractional HR solutions
  3. Coordination and management of Administrative Service Offerings (ASO)
  4. HR Audits (compensation, performance, benefits, etc.)
  5. Payroll solutions (Gusto and AlignHR Payroll – powered by Execupay)

For over a decade, AlignHR has been a trusted HR firm in South Dakota. We chose our name to reflect our mission: aligning with your business’s goals, vision, and challenges, rather than offering generic solutions.
