Doing HR and Total Rewards the Only Human way
Barbara Leahey - Managing Principal
For the past 20 years, I have successfully solved HR and total rewards challenges for global Fortune 500 companies across various industries. This has led me to understand that certain aspects of business are best left to the experts — as in life. Of the experts with whom I have had the pleasure to work and like whom I aspire to be, the most successful possess similar traits: genuine compassion, respect for others, and a willingness to allow all an opportunity to have their voices and ideas heard.

People become secure in the knowledge of their inherent worth when they are at liberty to interact without fear of criticism, judgment, or reprisal. The resultant energy drives their individual and collective creativity, which strengthens all parties involved.

Think Differently
In business, differentiation is the key to success. That may translate to building a better mousetrap or completely stepping away from the norm and creating value from something entirely new and untried. Sometimes that requires retaining a professional to tackle projects. Perhaps you've become aware of in-house knowledge gaps. Or simply because what you’ve been doing isn't working.
That's where we come in. Rather than churning out prefab, cookie-cutter solutions, we will collaborate with your team to understand the needs of your business and your people to create a unique plan that aligns with your strategic goals.
