About Eileen Kim

People enthusiast, Beyonce evangelist, and compulsive calendar checker with a perpetual resting-nice-face :)I believe HR can change the world. I\'m passionate about all-things-HR and unabashedly consider this to be true: empowered employees + healthy teams are a company\'s most valuable asset. No undertakings are too big or too small, and I have an unrelenting mindset to never stop learning. My HR super-power is staying positive despite daily pressures, not-so-glamorous tasks, and tight deadlines. I have a penchant for staying curious; asking myself & others:\"how can HR be better?\" My MO is building relationships with every employee and fostering an inclusive culture where they\'re engaged, feel a sense of belonging, and mutually benefiting from the success of the company in which they help build.
