About Katie Hendricks

As Manager of People Operations at OCHIN, I bring experience in strategic workforce planning, competency-based assessment rollouts, and compensation benchmarking. Partnering closely with leaders across departments, I design and drive initiatives that align HR strategies with organizational goals, with a focus on employee engagement, retention, and leadership development. A key part of my experience is data analysis to inform decisions. I conduct organization-wide and team-level analyses. These insights equip leaders with actionable information to strengthen engagement, reduce risk, and plan effectively for the workforces of today and tomorrow. My career spans 14+ years in HR, including advising business leaders on compliance, leadership coaching, and organizational design. At OCHIN, I have guided restructuring efforts, enhanced performance management, and supported post-acquisition integrations to ensure cultural alignment and operational efficiency. My commitment lies in empowering leaders with insights and building people strategies that are both impactful and sustainable.
