Employee Experience & Engagement Leader | HR Communications | Speaker | Author | Forbes HR Council

You’re an HR leader delivering exceptional HR, but your team is stuck doing tactical HR work or focused on employee engagement instead of the things that actually moves the needle. 

Let’s fix that. 
👇

Without being intentional in the employee experience you’re creating, you’ll never be able to focus on the right HR strategy to shift your company’s culture, retain key talent, and increase employee engagement. 

That’s the power of the employee experience. 

Creating continuous positive touchpoints for your employees, to build a stronger relationship with your company – while also loving the work you’re doing. 

There’s a time and place for tactical and compliance-driven HR activities, but that shouldn’t be all your team does. 

In fact, if that’s the case, each day you’re losing your HR credibility and the opportunity to showcase the ROI your team can have on the organization. 

That’s where I come in. 

The quickest way to increase employee engagement and have employees living your stated company culture is to create an intentional employee experience across all your HR activities, projects, programs, and tech. 

I’ll support you in uncovering the various gaps your employees are experiencing on a daily basis that has generated increased engagement by more than 35% consistently, created inclusive cultures focusing on retaining talent, and helped hundreds of HR leaders fall back in love with their career. 

If you’re an HR leader and you want to: 

▶️ Get off the tactical HR hamster wheel
▶️ Focus on strategic HR work that makes a significant impact to your employees
▶️ Create a work culture where people want to show up
▶️ Write employee communications that have your employees taking action

General Counsel & SVP of Human Resources

This break was originally for me to relocate to Georgia from Connecticut. However, shortly after arriving in Georgia, my partner was presented with an amazing opportunity, but one that required us to move to Texas. Since he was busy working fulltime, I took on the primary responsibility of wrapping up our affairs in Georgia. This required multiple trips between Georgia and Texas until we finally had everything transitioned to Texas.
