Hi everyone! Thank you, Dan, for inviting me! I’m an HR Consultant for smaller companies. I have around 85 clients. I live in the PNW. I specialize in compliance, supporting companies through growth and tough times, compensation, disability accommodation, and employee relations. My background is in retail and healthcare. I do work with companies that have unionized staff and occasionally advise on bargaining. What surprises my clients the most is the fact that in Oregon and Washington, negotiation for pay is not allowed under their pay equity laws. These laws have been in place for a few years and still people are surprised about what they contain. Happy to chat with anyone interested in consulting! If you are, networking is the number 1 thing you have to make time for. And, that isn’t for everyone!
