Through Angie’s leadership with our employee engagement initiatives, we achieved a phenomenal culture AND we earned high rankings on multiple workplace awards at both a local and national level. Angie’s ability to connect to employees at all levels makes her relatable, respected and trusted through each step of the process. For organizations who want to experience a great employee culture and are in pursuit of a best workplace award, there’s no better expert resource than Angie.

I worked with Angie for over five years. She is by far the most knowledgeable HR director with the broadest scope of experience in my 30 year career. Angie’s strength is her ability to listen and understand the strategic needs of a business while partnering with the management team to execute change, solve problems and build an engaged workforce.

Angie understood my business goals and was my partner in achieving those goals-whether it was in hiring, training, reviewing or disciplining employees. She was professional, knowledgeable and treated everything confidentially. Angie will take on the difficult projects and deliver them effectively. For our company, she led the team to create the Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct, revised the Personnel Annual Review form and process, negotiated a new Payroll provider and online portal, negotiated our annual Employee Benefit package, and implemented a new hire onboarding process.

Many of the HR functions were non existent or lacking until Angie’s leadership built the sustainable infrastructure to ensure our business could operate without fear of legal, audit or compliance risks.

Angie’s HR knowledge, leadership, and communication skills were valuable as our HR leader. She worked great with payroll and accounting to make sure that everything was smooth and seamless for our employees. Angie also knows that every situation and every person is different and she is able to handle each unique situation in a manner that brings out the best outcome for the employee and for the company. She will be able to use those skills to help advise companies on handling their HR issues. This will be especially great for companies without a designated or trained HR person. After working with Angie for 9 years, where she handled the HR side and I handled the payroll and accounting functions, I am better able to handle the HR functions in my current position. I would not have been prepared to do that without her guidance over the years.

We had an amazing company culture and Angie played a big part of that. Her creative ideas for company events, both on-site and off-site, were always a big hit with the employees. Events, both large and small, helped to brighten the day and keep up morale. Working with Angie will be a great benefit for your company.

Cari Medaris, Sr. Accounting Specialist

 

Angie helped me navigate the potential land mines when dealing with employee issues to make sure that we were not only ethically sound but also in full compliance with applicable rules. Having her as both a sounding board and a guide when dealing with HR issues let me focus on the business needs.

Jim Hutchins, CTO

 

During a dramatic period of change during and after a corporate acquisition in which all departments in our company were right-sized, Angie was instrumental in guiding myself and other members of our executive leadership team in navigating our respective areas through rough waters into a new operating culture and corporate norm. I relied heavily on Angie’s balanced leadership, personnel expertise and exceptional change management skills to guide us through that difficult time in our company’s history. I don’t know what I would have done without her.
