ABOUT MICHAEL SAYNE

I am a Labor Relations leader, human capital strategist, compliance advisor to the business, and coach. I have spent my career working with executives to develop strategies around HR solutions for their organizations. Over the course of my career, I\'ve developed a deep understanding of diverse business units, resulting in an ability to develop compliance strategies and associate labor solutions to help drive positive business outcomes. The key factor to my success has been my ability to maintain open lines of communication between executive leadership, operational leadership and HR. My expertise lies in transforming team cultures through redefining HR & compliance policies. Throughout my career, I’ve consulted on issues such as talent management strategy, succession planning, organizational development, and workforce analytics across all levels within global organizations ranging from corporate to retail environments. I’ve had the privilege of working across the public and private sector across retail, academia, and legal, holding roles as an Associate Attorney, Adjunct Professor, Employment Law & Corporate Counsel, Sr. Associate General Counsel, Director of Legal, Compliance & Labor Relations and Head of Compliance & Employment. I am committed to translating over 20+ years in senior leadership roles, director of legal, labor relations, and people operations into a chief Compliance Officer or Chief People Officer role.
