WHO WE ARE
Welcome to a new HR. Personalized and unique for your organization.
People are complicated. We’re now in a time where 5 different generations are represented in the workforce - from 16 to 80+ years of age - each with a unique communication style, motivation, set of sensitivities, and desired workplace environment. What’s worse – they’re often at odds with one another and company leadership is placed directly in the middle.
At Human Operations Solutions (HOpS), we celebrate the different dynamics and diversity of your employees. We simplify things with clear processes and position ourselves as the friendly go-to’s for your teams. We’re not just curious about your industry; we’re here to boost your organization’s culture and bottom line. Get to know us!
ROBERT POWELL
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
I love questions, puzzles, and challenges. These are tied together by an endless curiosity about humans and the way they think. I believe humans are – for the most part – predictable and there are perfect people for each and every place or position. The trick for me has been studying the psychological intricacies and learning how to pull the best out of one’s basic brain hard-wiring.
I’m inspired by innovation and kindness. I exited “Corporate America” in 2016 because I’m inspired by helping organizations build and grow. I’ve always had trouble staying in my HR “lane” because I genuinely love learning about Operations, Finance, Sales/Marketing, etc. I enjoy serving as a thought leader and positively impacting the businesses I support without being constrained by corporate red tape.
Fresh air and family are my personal passions and I try to combine the two whenever possible. Whether it’s a quick walk, long bike ride, or a trip around town in the Jeep – I’ve found stepping away for a quick respite typically provides renewed perspective and a level mindset.
