Steady guidance from someone who's been there.

Kona Workplace Advisory was founded to give Hawaii businesses access to HR guidance that is practical, compliant, and human-centered.

I'm Shayna Atkinson, SPHR - and I started this practice because I believe small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same quality of HR support as large organizations, without the complexity or corporate overhead.

I hold a Master of Legal Studies with a concentration in HR Law and have built my career at the intersection of employment compliance and people operations. I partner with employers to navigate employment law requirements, strengthen HR systems, and address people-related challenges with clarity and confidence. My focus is always on what's practical, what's compliant, and what actually works for your business.

This isn't one-size-fits-all HR. It's thoughtful guidance, tailored to you, delivered with care and expertise.
