About Us

Built on relationships,
not transactions

Since 1981, CG Hylton has helped organizations design HR policies and employee benefits programs that actually fit their people — and stay sharp as those organizations grow.

A team of HR specialists, benefits experts, and trusted advisors.

Our strength comes from combining four decades of specialist experience with the kind of plain, hands-on guidance that's hard to find inside a large firm — helping leaders navigate complexity and turn people decisions into measurable business outcomes.

What sets us apart:

  • Our consultants have run benefits programs, not just advised on them.
  • Built to last. Every recommendation comes with a plan to hold it in place.
  • We listen first, then build a solution that's yours entirely.
  • We don't hand over a binder and leave. We're in it with you, year after year.
Our Team

The people behind the work.

Hylton stays deliberately small. The people on this page are the people who actually do the work — no junior handoffs, no rotating account managers, no surprises.
