About Heather Lind

As an employee relations expert experienced at human resources initiatives, I build exceptional teams and cultivate positive work environments that promote employee engagement and retention. Solid employee relations is the foundation for successful implementation of business initiatives to grow any business. As a Human Resource Business Partner, I provide another set of eyes to collaborate with business leadership to improve performance and productivity. I bring solid employee relations and labor relations experience including EEOC / OCRC investigations. You name it, I’ve seen it and I will find a creative solution to whatever “it” is that troubles employees and hinders operations. I am a Registered Corporate Coach with the coaching and mentoring skills to coach collaborate with leadership on issues related to their people resources including employee relations, development, change management, succession planning, and engagement. I work in the full range of human resources specialties including: Talent acquisition and recruiting, training and talent development, process improvement, employee onboarding along with compensation and benefits as these important specialties impact employees. I believe HR strategies should support business goals, not the other way around. That requires a flexible, business oriented view that walks that fine line between employee and business needs, building trust with employees at all levels.
