About Us
Who We Are
People Results is an experienced team of consultants with diverse professional backgrounds and broad industry knowledge, who collaborate, innovate, and anticipate challenges side-by-side with our clients.
We are dedicated to empowering leaders through better communication, positive labor relations, and improved organizational effectiveness. We listen to our clients with a deep respect for the work they do and the people who do it. Our consultants live and work across the United States, supporting a wide range of clients both on site and remotely. Founded in 1979 as IRI Consultants, People Results has evolved strategically to meet the needs of today’s workforce.
The story of People Results began in a Midwestern two-car garage in the Motor Capital of the World, Detroit. Our name at the time, Industrial Relations, Inc., later IRI Consultants, reflected the core of our business: labor relations in the industrial sector— hard hats, assembly lines, and machinery. And that is where we thrived for years.
But as our list of clients requesting labor relations expertise pushed into new sectors, we worked alongside leaders who were confounded by an increase in employee unrest, and we saw firsthand the inside workings of organizations of all sizes. We quickly realized from these diverse experiences that, whether in hospital hallways or retail aisles, ineffective leadership and inadequate communication were the most common causes of labor issues.
Over the years, we have continued to transform the services we deliver by acquiring companies that offer complementary expertise. In 2023, we acquired PeopleResults, a firm with a deep roster of clients and consultants who had expertise in business transformations, organizational development, and engagement strategies. One year later, we rebranded IRI Consultants as People Results, the natural evolution of a firm dedicated to people and focused on results.
Even as our company has grown from a handful of consultants in Michigan to more than 200 professionals located across the U.S., we have remained relentlessly adaptive, prospering as a virtual company long before it was trendy. Our consultants’ can-do attitudes set us apart from other firms and foster the spirit of collaboration that has come to be a hallmark of our culture.
Today, our people are embedded with employers across the country, achieving measurable results and accelerating confidence through our expertise in labor, transformational change, communication, and digital solutions.
