About Kathy Kabala
I’m a strategic, results-driven professional with 25+ years of experience in legal operations, compliance, organization development (OD), and human capital strategy. My passion lies in connecting people, processes, and policy to build workplaces that are not only compliant and efficient — but also engaging and inclusive.In my role at Dominion Energy, I lead enterprise-wide initiatives that strengthen compliance and operational alignment while advancing employee engagement and inclusion. I use data-driven approaches — from surveys and focus groups to engagement analytics — to uncover insights that shape better systems, smarter processes, and stronger connections. Whether it’s designing events that drive inclusion or crafting strategies that translate policy into meaningful action, my goal is to create experiences where people feel valued and empowered.As an Adjunct Instructor at Reynolds Community College, I design and deliver practical, skills-based courses in paralegal studies, equipping students and professionals with the knowledge and confidence to navigate complex legal procedures. My teaching philosophy bridges academic learning with real-world legal operations, ensuring future legal professionals are prepared to thrive in dynamic environments.At the heart of everything I do is a belief that compliance and culture can work hand in hand — that data, when paired with empathy and inclusion, can transform the way organizations operate and how people experience work.Core Strengths: Legal Operations | Regulatory & Policy Compliance | Risk Management Data-Driven Decision Making | Surveys, Focus Groups & Analytics | Program & Project Management Employee Experience | Inclusion & Engagement Strategy | Organization Development Process Optimization | Change Management | Strategic Event Planning Communication | Instruction & Facilitation | Leadership Development
