Laura Didonna, SPHR, SHRM-SCP — Operations Associate

As a people-centric Human Resources leader with a servant leadership approach, I believe people strategy should be woven into every business strategy. Bringing over a decade of progressive HR experience supporting private and public companies ranging from 45 to 6,000 employees across multiple states, I am adept at leading on-site, remote first, and hybrid workforces. Skilled in people strategy, employee engagement, performance management, talent development, compliance, recruiting, retention, onboarding, offboarding, benefits administration, policy development, employee relations, continuous process improvement, and HR Operations. My core values are integrity, candor, and kindness. Integrity – My moral compass is strong and not dependent on the situation. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it. Right is right, even if no one is doing it. Candor – Life is too short, and I’m too busy to be anything but authentic and direct. I also believe being candid is the foundation of any good relationship and relationships drive results. I build relationships based on trust and rapport with employees and leaders at all levels in order to effectively collaborate and produce results. Kindness – There is too much nastiness in the world. Take a moment and be the reason someone smiles and feels better about themselves today. However, being kind doesn’t mean I won’t hold someone accountable. Quite the opposite in fact, because I am kind, I will have the conversations others might shy away from. Nice people avoid difficult conversations, kind people address difficult conversations head on before they escalate. I believe HR is a strategic business partner and a customer service role that guides the organization while improving profitability.
