Testimonials:
“Kersten completely transformed our people and culture operations. She installed systems and processes that increased diversity and inclusion while also improving management practices and increasing accountability. She’s a highly skilled professional who is a complete joy to work with. I would re-hire her without hesitation! ”
“In just the past year she has built new Performance Management & Employee Development programs, conducted a pay equity audit & developed a full new compensation philosophy, transitioned our HR processes from a PEO to in-house HR, built out a proprietary system for measuring employee satisfaction (and significantly improved it!) and guided the development of a comprehensive talent acquisition & growth strategy based on equity, diversity, & inclusion. Any organization would be strengthened by having Kersten’s leadership, passion, & vision on their side and I hope to have more opportunities to work with her in the future.”
“Kersten leads with intention and empathy in every interaction and decision...She takes the time to understand each perspective, while being able to quickly distill that information down into a solution.”
“Trustworthy, caring, and transparent are the first qualities that come to mind when I think of Kersten. She worked to examine the systems that would impede inclusion and swiftly implemented successful policies, processes, and programs that created a large impact on the Treehouse culture. ”
