About LoneStar HR

Staci Benavides

Owner & HR Consultant

LoneStar HR was founded with one purpose: helping organizations build stronger businesses through better people practices. After more than two decades leading Human Resources across multiple industries, Staci recognized that many small businesses needed executive-level HR expertise but didn't need — or couldn't justify — a full-time HR department. That's where LoneStar HR comes in.

We provide practical, strategic HR consulting that helps organizations remain compliant, develop leaders, improve employee engagement, and create systems that support sustainable growth. HR should never be about checking boxes — it should be about creating workplaces where employees succeed, leaders grow, and organizations thrive.

People matter. Business matters. Both deserve thoughtful solutions.
