Built for compliance.
Designed for people.
We help organizations put the human back in human capital — governing the workforce and human-rights risk most frameworks overlook, and connecting it to the supply chain it moves through.
Human capital first
Most advisors manage one slice of risk. We manage how they connect.
The risk to your people isn't confined to your own walls — it runs through the entire value chain you depend on. Seeing it clearly takes an integrated view, not a siloed one.
Egan Rose Consulting was built for leaders who are tired of stitching together specialists. We work across the domains, because that is where the real risk lives, and where defensible governance gets built.
The firm was founded and led by Keidra Norwood, Managing Director and Chief Empathy Officer, MJur, SHRM-WMHA, who spent 15+ years in highly regulated sectors — including a senior role in corporate risk management at Charles Schwab. That history shapes how we work: the rigor of enterprise risk management, the scrutiny of regulatory compliance, applied with the conviction that the most valuable assets are seated in the organization and in its supply chain. Egan Rose Consulting is SBA-certified (EDWOSB and WOSB), WBENC-certified, and woman-owned.
Read the Founder StoryWhy I built Egan Rose.
I founded Egan Rose Consulting after 15 years in enterprise risk management and compliance — a decade and a half of watching organizations treat human capital risk as something to react to, never something to build for. The trigger was almost always a regulatory requirement: a rule shifted, an audit loomed, an enforcement action landed, and only then did people-risk get attention. Compliance drove the response. Compassion never entered it.
The problem was never a lack of frameworks. It was that the frameworks were built for financial and operational risk, not the hazards that harm people — and they were deployed to satisfy a regulator, not to protect a workforce. Psychosocial risk doesn't show up in a traditional risk register. Human rights violations in the value chain stay invisible until an enforcement action makes them visible. By then the damage — to people first, the organization second — is already done.
Egan Rose exists to close that gap: to move organizations from reacting to requirements toward embedding empathy as infrastructure. We start where most advisors stop — with the human. We help organizations build defensible Health, Safety, Security & Environmental (HSSE) and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) programs, and we connect that human capital risk to the supply chain risk it moves through, so nothing falls between the lanes.
It's also why we built Asellek™, our psychosocial risk and HRDD platform. Empathy shouldn't depend on who happens to be in the room. Asellek measures the human risk, documents the decision trail, and makes human judgment auditable — so compassion can scale, and survive scrutiny. Where compliance meets compassion.
Because risk is human before it is anything else.
Six principles behind every engagement.
These are the convictions that shape how we govern risk and how we treat the people inside every organization we serve.
Safety
We cultivate environments of psychological and physical safety built on respect, transparency, and clear communication.
Empathy
We make empathy the cultural thread that weaves trust, respect, and connection into every organization we serve.
Choice
We honor diverse needs by offering choice, flexibility, and solutions that adapt to people, not the other way around.
Empowerment
We empower individuals and organizations by restoring agency, fostering self-advocacy, and building cultures where every voice matters.
Collaboration
We believe collaboration creates shared power, shared responsibility, and stronger outcomes for all.
Resilience
We strengthen the capacity of individuals and organizations to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of challenges — turning disruption into growth.
Human capital first. Three R's. One integrated practice.
Risk doesn't stay in one lane. And the deepest exposure isn't in your systems — it's in your people. We govern all three: human capital first, then the supply chain it moves through.

Four disciplines. One defensible practice.
Every Egan Rose engagement follows the same integrated methodology. The work holds up under oversight because the discipline holds first.
-
01
Assess
Multi-tier vendor visibility, workforce risk mapping, regulatory gap analysis. Done before the engagement scope is locked.

02
Classify
Every risk is formally classified, severity, salience, escalation tier, and placed in the enterprise risk register where governance can see it.
-
03
Escalate
Clear escalation pathways, documented thresholds, and named risk owners. Nothing sits quietly where it should not.
-
04
Document
Audit-ready workpapers, documentation traceability, and defensibility reviews. Compliance that holds up when oversight actually reviews it.
