Connie Richards, CMP's Linkedin Analytics

I love people and I love business challenges, so there is no better role for me than leading an HR team rooted in an empathetic approach. I spend my days helping my employer launch creative, human-centric solutions that not only overcome operational obstacles to drive new profits, but they also ignite employee engagement, morale, and overall satisfaction. I strive to be an always approachable and fully empathetic leader who maintains an open door to the workforce. By maintaining this two-way relationship with the employee population, I stay in sync with what operational influences are impeding their path to success and work to proactively break down these barriers to deliver a positive and solidly productive team. Whether it is a business process or a cultural issue, I provide the vision and counsel that steer organizations in the right direction. Oh, and I am a die-hard hockey fan, so you know that I can remain calm and steadfast, even in the most stressful of situations!
