Melinda Lauffer
Human Resources Professional
Leveraging my diverse industry experience (philanthropy, retail, beauty) and a strong educational foundation, I embarked on a mission in 2019 to bridge the gap between theory and practice. My skills include building strong peer relationships, managing payroll and workflows, administering benefits, performance management, and recruitment.
I'm passionate about helping organizations strengthen employer-employee connections, develop impactful training programs, and cultivate a positive and collaborative work environment. My leadership style is one of humility and expertise, where I aim to earn the respect and trust of my colleagues. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, understanding, and empathy.
Committed to continuous learning and growth, I'm actively seeking opportunities to develop my interpersonal skills, particularly in attentive listening and emotional intelligence. My long-term goal is to become a well-respected authority in the field of Human Resources, fueled by learning from influential leaders in Organizational Psychology, Development/Behavior, and People Operations.
