Coach leaders to strengthen their accountability, decision-making, feedback, performance differentiation, and leadership effectiveness.
Identify capability gaps and partner with leaders to build targeted development plans, experiences, and pipelines for critical roles.
Ensure talent discussions result in clear actions, ownership, and follow-through that improve bench strength and reduce organizational risk.

Engagement, Retention & Culture

Use engagement, turnover, exit, stay, onboarding, and other workforce insights to diagnose root causes and help leaders build focused, measurable action plans.
Partner with leaders to strengthen the day-to-day teammate experience, reinforce Ivy's Caring, Serving, and Growing values, and build an inclusive culture of trust, clarity, recognition, and accountability.
Advance targeted retention strategies for critical pediatric talent and high-risk teams, and monitor progress through regular business and talent reviews.
Guide leaders through change with clear stakeholder plans, communication, listening strategies, and adoption support.

Employee Relations, Risk & HR Delivery

Provide senior-level counsel on complex employee relations matters, investigations, performance concerns, workplace accommodations, policy interpretation, and organizational risk.

Monitor relevant federal, state, and local employment requirements and partner with internal experts to support compliant practices across assigned operations.
Coordinate across HR teams and support functions to ensure leaders receive clear, connected, and practical solutions rather than fragmented HR support.
