  Guest Speaker:

  Michele Haugh

  

  Please join us for our monthly Lubbock SHRM meeting as Michele Haugh leads us through the concept of moving from Human Resources to Return on Investment...the piece that truly makes HR professionals a business partner in their organizations.

  
  

  

  Speaker Bio:  

  Michele says, "I’ve been the lonely, solo HR professional trying to accomplish all the things for my organization – so I know exactly how overwhelming and stressful it can be to prioritize your employee engagement and development.

  Now, with over 20 years of HR and leadership experience, I help employee-focused CEOs, leaders, and HR professionals create effective, employee-centered organizations. We created EarlyEngage to lift up and support small companies and people leaders to provide the "big company" style engagement solutions small businesses didn't think they could afford.

  One thing I know: A creative, personalized solution is always the most effective.

  Outside of work, you’ll find me: Dreaming of my next travel adventure with my family and playing with my two adorable miniature schnauzers Beau and Daisy."

  Certifications: MS in HR and OD 2024
