ABOUT US
Exceptional Expertise & Client Dedication
The secret to our success? Filling the gaps!
Traditional HR teams and structure are excellent at managing the day-to-day needs of the company. After years of experience, we see that teams asked to take on large-scale business transformations or critical programs do not have the band-width or niche experience in running projects of this nature. That is where Transforming HR fills the gap! We manage the initiative while your team manages their priorities.
Our Founder's journey in her own words...
The frustration
Years of hitting a brick wall.
Years of huge disconnects between the scope of work I prioritized as an HR executive vs. what traditional HR organizations viewed as the role.
Years of questioning why HR operated on reactive, task-based firedrills instead of looking at issues holistically, cross-functionally.
Years of wondering why HR professionals were unable to accurately gage the importance of their focus against the greater impact to the business.
Years of seeing organizations fail their most critical endeavors because: - An executive was expected to perform as a seasoned, detailed program manager - A seasoned professional was expected to successfully manage on top of their day job

the realization
The issue wasn't the HR profession, it was me.
I was unique. I had a vastly different background, skills, experience, and expectations.
My ability to move from strategic to tactical on an enterprise-wide scale was not common.
What I did automatically and took for granted was rare in the HR community.
Maybe it was because I: - Started my career running business operations and client management where people were the product - Moved and progressed within the HR profession while never shaking my pure business perspective- Spent years in outsourcing companies who held dedicated HR teams focused only on the success of each client's transformation
