Human Resources? People Analytics? People Development? I believe a company's most valuable asset will always be their team members. However you choose to define your organizations "Human Resources" team, you must truly understand the importance of what it means to be an exceptional business partner. Traditionally, HR has been viewed as a roadblock; an undesirable part of the company satisfying a necessary evil. I believe that when executed properly, in collaboration with Leadership and team members, your HR team can enhance company culture, engagement, retention and remain a trusted source of guidance and consultation. For nearly a decade, I've made it my personal mission to pair with other dedicated professionals who want to transform the HR space. HR encompasses far more than just benefits, payroll, hiring and firing. HR can be a company's cornerstone for stability, collaboration and growth. HR can foster a playful environment that respects transparency while addressing the needs of the business. And finally, HR can help managers embrace the strong qualities of individual contributors on their team while organizing the entire group toward shared success.
