About Shannon Currier

As an accomplished HR professional with over a decade of experience in driving strategic human resource initiatives, I specialize in aligning HR practices with organizational goals to foster a collaborative and inclusive workplace. My career journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in strategic HR leadership, employee relations, workforce planning, and change management, all underpinned by a commitment to health equity and diversity. I am passionate about mentoring future HR leaders and leveraging my analytical, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills to drive meaningful change. Currently serving as a Senior Employee Relations & Operations Consultant at Seattle Children\'s Hospital, I spearhead initiatives that enhance employee engagement and promote a culture of open communication across the workforce. My approach integrates restorative practices into performance management, significantly improving trust and engagement among employees. Throughout my tenure at leading organizations such as Alaska Airlines and Wyndham Vacation Ownership (now Travel & Leisure), I have demonstrated a proven ability to navigate complex HR challenges, guide teams through organizational change, and implement data-driven strategies that support operational efficiency. I have successfully led talent management initiatives, developed HR policies, and fostered strong employee relations while ensuring compliance with employment laws.
