At Pinnacle, we’re all about relationships. With our awesome clients, our incredible partners, and especially with each other! We truly believe that happy people do the best work, which is why we have an amazing Head of People, Mary Williams, SPHR, leading the charge.
Mary joined our crew in November 2021 and instantly made a splash. Imagine merging multiple agencies into one big happy family – yeah, it was a bit of a whirlwind! But Mary swooped in and helped us navigate the chaos, all while boosting our benefits and making sure everyone felt valued and heard.
And get this – her passion for people extends way beyond Pinnacle! Mary is a total headliner in the HR world, constantly sharing her wisdom and inspiring companies to put their employees first.
Check out some of the awesome things she’s been up to lately:
- Nailed it in Interview Focus! Mary shared her secrets on how to really get to know a team during an interview. Her advice? Don’t be shy to ask about how they handle conflict – it’s a game-changer!
- Revolutionizing Performance Reviews! Mary is all about continuous feedback, and she spilled the tea in HR Interviews about what are the outcomes when overhauling the performance review process.
- Recruiting Rockstar! Need to snag some top-notch talent? Mary dropped some serious knowledge bombs in Career Arc about recruiting passive candidates. Spoiler alert: it’s all about building genuine connections (no surprise there!).
But wait, there’s more!
Mary’s been busy spreading the HR love all over the place:
- Ro cking it with the Wisconsin SHRM SMILE Team (Social Media Influencer Leading Engagement) – October 9-11. You go, Mary!
- Dropping truth bombs as an expert panelist on “Provocative HR: Unpacking the Tough Stuff” with Paylocity. She tackled those tough HR topics head-on and gave us some killer tips for navigating tricky situations.
- Influencing the heck out of the SHRM 2024 Conference this past summer as one of the top HR professionals in the nation – these Influencers are selected by SHRM and invited for their national conference.
- Sharing her HR wisdom in “The HR Evolution” Paylocity webinar back in January. Think future trends, killer strategies, and how to build a dream team.
So yeah, we’re pretty lucky to have Mary on our team. She’s not just our Head of People, she’s a people champion, and she’s making Pinnacle (and the whole HR world) a better place, one awesome initiative at a time.
