Bio
Donna Ridner, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
When organizations seek to engage HR professionals, they do so with great caution for good reason! It's imperative to find someone who can juggle the multiple responsibilities of that position while acquiring and maintaining the respect and confidence of the entire organization. I saw Geri display those types of qualities during my tenure with HoneyBaked Ham....people loved her! That caring was reciprocal as she was a strong advocate for creating a culture where team members would thrive and be value contributors to the overall success of HoneyBaked! That's the kind of HR leader any organization should be proud to have!
