About Preethi Ramnarayan

I have always been told that if I set my mind on something and worked very hard for it, I could make it happen. I took it one step further - I didn\'t just want things to happen, I wanted to be excellent at what I chose to do. As I grew up, I chose to be excellent at what comes to me naturally - working with people.I\'ve been fortunate to work with great people in great organizations in India and the US. My interactions have reinforced my personal mantra - when working with people, the only way to become successful is to make others successful first.I\'ve worn several hats in my 13 plus-year career: business advisor, employee relations leader, performance management consultant, employee engagement leader, change management advisor, talent acquisition manager, compensation specialist, workforce planning expert, learning & development partner, presiding officer as part of Internal Complaints Committee and D&I manager. I enjoyed every role and performed it with excellence. I am passionate about solving complex business challenges. I\'m always looking for ways to speak the language of the business and devise sustainable solutions that demonstrate our investment in our people. Presenting the \'people perspective\' to management, coaching leaders, hiring top talent, guiding leaders through change. the list is endless.Specialties: business partnering, talent relations, change management, learning & development, employee harassment issues, anti-sexual harassment awareness, performance management, employee engagement, recruitment, compensation & benefits, diversity & inclusion, strategic planning
