    Hello! I have 25 years of experience in Human Resources and I have two graduate degrees. I previously worked as VP of HR at a few companies before I became a full-time Human Resource consultant. Now I enjoy providing ad-hoc / fractional Human Resource, Employee Relations, Coaching/Training, consulting services, as needed, for start-up and small companies. I can also provide ongoing HR Management support and guidance through a monthly retainer. This might include: • HR Start-Up Kit: Payroll set up, expanding to a new state, legal offer letters, a customized employee handbook, and onboarding guidance. • Staffing Plan: Reviewing job advertisements, brand awareness, and assessing, updating, documenting, and training managers in a streamlined recruiting process. • Competitive Analysis: Evaluating employee turnover, conducting a salary and benefits benchmark survey to see how your total rewards model compares to your competitors, establishing a multi-faceted communication plan, the design and implementation of an employee survey, implementing formal employee feedback programs, and establishing an exit interview process. • Performance Management System: Reviewing or creating a custom performance evaluation system, documenting performance that supports raise decisions, formal goal-setting, and establishing succession planning. • Training Programs: This service provides a wide menu of training topics within any timeline you would like. Most clients choose one hour per month or quarter and some topic choices include: Interviewing for Success, Implementing Performance Evaluations, Creating Goals for Your Team, Conflict Management, Time Management, and a series of Diversity/Equity/Inclusion initiatives including Unconscious Bias in Recruiting. I also provide legally required training on harassment, workplace violence prevention, OSHA, etc. My team can also design customized employee onboarding and training systems. • Brand Refresh: This is a fun and engaging team exercise to update or create the company mission, vision, and values statement to accurately reflect how you want to conduct your business and drive company culture toward alignment. It might even involve a change in logo or even company name to reflect where you are now and where you want to go. • Strategic Planning: Review and update or create a 5-year strategic plan that involves all key areas of the company. This can start as another fun team-building exercise that might involve a management retreat with brainstorming, sharing ideas, and focusing on the most important areas of the business. This brings departments together and working toward common goals. • HR Re-Org Assessment: Did you have a re-org, merger, or change in leadership recently or are you struggling with a lot of turnover in the HR department? This program involves an in-depth assessment of all duties and processes in the HR department and a proposal for the optimum ways to increase efficiency and morale. • Workplace Investigations: Implementing a formal anonymous employee complaint or grievance system, a written complaint and investigation procedure, the development of diversity or safety committees, a management training on how and when to escalate complaints, and I am also certified in conducting workplace investigations and providing advice and counsel. This may include complaints of harassment, discrimination, favoritism, or any other inequity issue. • Management Coaching: Would you like to schedule regular check-ins or just have someone on-call when you have an HR or payroll question or would like support and guidance handling an employee relations issue? This can also be arranged and is one of my most popular and enjoyed services. My goals is to make your work life easier. I hope we have a chance to work together. I have a variety of clients in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. On a personal note, I am passionate about travel and try to visit a few new countries each year. I am also an avid volunteer. I have been a Wish Granter for the Make-A-Wish foundation for 20 years and I am on the Board of Directors for my local Humane Society.

    Businesses thrive when every employee grasps the long-term corporate vision and is equipped by management to help deliver on that promise. As an HR thought leader, my role is to facilitate that understanding and offer a well-stocked HR toolkit that allows personnel at every level to benefit from the organization's progress. Achieving this depends of having a comprehensive view of how the organization currently functions and developing the processes and procedures that will facilitate positive change. I then routinely manage workforce planning and development, talent recruitment and management, and leadership development and succession planning. As a data-driven analyst, I keep tabs of our progress all the time, which allows me to identify potential roadblocks and eliminate them without delay. I also train and mentor personnel throughout the organization to ensure that we are all on the same page with respect to goals and how to reach them. My organizational experience has been broad and diverse. I have handled all HR functions for a daily newspaper with 1,100 employees at 18 locations, managed the global HR needs of an international purveyor of luxury goods, and served as a full business partner within a 25,000-member benefits fund with 160 employees. In every case, my involvement has enhanced engagement, boosted performance, and delivered significant growth.
