By early 2024, I had the remarkable opportunity to lead my company through a transformative phase, growing our workforce from 250 to 800 employees in under three years. This impressive expansion was achieved through a combination of organic growth and eight strategic acquisitions. One of my proudest accomplishments during this period was maintaining a 100% retention rate of incoming employees despite the rapid changes.
During this journey, I observed a significant challenge faced by many other companies: they were struggling to retain key employees amidst the uncertainties of transitions. This observation made me realize the need for a robust solution to help companies secure their valuable team members.
To meet this need, I developed the EXCELLENCE model—a structured approach that has consistently proven effective in supporting and retaining top talent, even during substantial organizational shifts. However, not every company needs a full HR team to make this impact, which is where our fractional HR services come in. For small businesses and non-profits, our fractional HR solutions offer a flexible, cost-effective way to access high-level HR expertise without the full-time commitment. From employee relations to compliance and talent management, we provide scalable support to help organizations foster a positive culture and sustainable growth.
Today, one of the most rewarding aspects of my role is witnessing my clients foster a sense of security and stability for their employees during challenging times. It is immensely gratifying to see these organizations thrive and grow, knowing that their teams feel supported and valued.
