“Brenda was brought in to initially do an employee survey from the HR side of the business, and that evolved into an audit on the company and its possible exposures – a review of record keeping and file maintenance, performance tracking, salary history, FMLA, disciplinary and review procedures, and employee relations. She then developed a strategy plan for HR to have a better presence in the company itself, which evolved into her being an extension of the HR team. “She brought a very human side to the HR department. Oftentimes, there is a conflict between HR team and employees; that they don’t feel like HR is working on their behalf. Brenda has a gift of understanding a company’s culture, and asking people what their needs are, establishing trust, all while balancing management’s needs. HR is complex, and Brenda has an amazing way of understanding all sides and creating a solution. “I would absolutely work with her again, and without a doubt, I would refer her to others.”
