“Your Partner in HR has been my go-to for larger scale projects at both Ideastream Public Media and the Mandel JCC. From compensation studies, recruitment support, executive coaching, and 360 assessments, the YPHR team has been a true partner in every aspect of these projects. They take the time to learn about the bigger picture as part of their process. It’s nice to have a local women-owned business to lean-on when the need arises, as it so often has in the past three years. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with them!”

“I’ve worked with Your Partner in HR (YPHR) over the years spanning different employers of mine. It’s been a pleasure to work with these “woman-owned companies.” I’ll work with one and then share my broader HR strategic goals and needs. They can refer me to a partner who is niche expert in their field. It’s a seamless handoff. They serve as an extension of my own HR team and provide the highest quality service to my internal clients… the leaders and employees of my company. They are my go-to resource when I have a need and always deliver top-notch results.”

“I am delighted to share my experiences collaborating with The Resilience Group on various projects as an HR professional. Working alongside Natalie Lemons has been a seamless and rewarding process on multiple fronts. Most notably, she recently provided invaluable assistance with outplacement services for a long-term employee transitioning to his next career endeavor. Natalie’s guidance encompassed resume refinement, interview preparation, and essential emotional support – a pivotal component of the outplacement process. Furthermore, her involvement in our recruitment efforts has been remarkable. What truly distinguishes her from other HR service providers is her commitment to comprehending our organization’s mission, values, and culture. This enables her to secure candidates who seamlessly align with our organizational philosophy.

Over the past two years, I’ve also had the privilege of collaborating with Amy Shannon on numerous training and coaching initiatives for our company. Amy’s training approach has been met with enthusiastic acclaim from our employees, owing to her ability to cultivate a dynamic and engaging learning environment that fosters active participation. Her contributions span all tiers of our company, from hourly associates to our esteemed Senior Leadership team. Amy’s meticulous attention to detail and diligent follow-up stand out. I consistently rely on her insights post-training to empower my HR team in sustaining employee engagement with the newly acquired knowledge.

In light of our organization’s substantial growth in recent years, The Resilience Group has proven to be an invaluable partner, furnishing the additional support necessary to propel our organization in a positive trajectory.”

Sonya has done an exceptional job negotiating the daunting task of hiring good people and helping find employees that have good cultural fit with our organization. She was excellent at helping create our employee manual that has realistic procedures for a small company.”
