[ms_row] [ms_column style="2/3" class="" id=""] [ms_testimonial style="normal" name="Megan Irwin" avatar="http://changetheworkgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/eld.png" byline="Executive Director of the Early Learning Division" alignment="none" class="" id=""]When I took over leadership of Oregon's Early Learning Division, our structure was disjointed, our staffing structure wasn't set up to help us meet our goals, and our staff were completely unclear about roles and responsibilities. Serilda guided my leadership team and I through a six month restructuring and re-alignment process and with her leadership we got our structure aligned with what we were working to achieve for children, and provided our staff the role-clarity and support they needed to be happy and successful at work. Today we are more productive than ever. We didn't add more people to our team, we're just working more effectively. Serilda was also instrumental in helping the Early Learning Division work toward its goal of building an equity driven early learning system. She reminded me that until equity and diversity responsibilities are explicitly written into job descriptions, the work isn't real. Today every employee at the ELD has at least one equity related goal and specific equity related responsibilities in their job descriptions. I've never worked with an HR professional who is as mission driven as Serilda is, as strong a coach as Serilda is, or as able to deliver results as Serilda is.[/ms_testimonial]   [ms_testimonial style="normal" name="Iris M.D. Bell" avatar="http://changetheworkgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/youth.png" byline="Executive Director, Oregon Youth Development Council" alignment="none" class="" id=""]Serilda Summers-Mcgee is a consummate professional whose knowledge, skills and abilities in the area of human resource management and professional development place her among the top individuals in her field.

She works tirelessly as an advocate for employees of color; this goes beyond the recruitment phase in the hiring process, for which Serilda also demonstrates unparalleled success. Serilda commits to ensuring that employees of color feel supported and honored in work environments. If asked to recommend an individual in the HR who could provide robust professional learning and ongoing support, who has a proven and impressive track record of recruitment and retention success, and who fully embodies a strong workplace value system where people are the greatest asset, Serilda would also be my first choice. Serilda is a true example of an HR expert who is at the top of her game.[/ms_testimonial] [/ms_column] [ms_row]
