Erin Piao MSHR

Renee is the most "attention to detail" person I have ever worked with. Her work is close to perfect on every aspect and I have learned a lot from her. Also a great leader and a co-worker. Leads with objectivity and act as a friend when it is related to anything other than work. It has been a great pleasure and learning experience working with Renee.

Tanya Wong

Renee has been a great mentor to me ever since I started with the company. I shadow her in benefits, time management, payroll, and leave related tasks, and have learned a lot of best practices from her. She taught me how to sharpen my analytic skills that would come in handy in terms of benefits and payroll related reporting. I have never worked with anyone with a better analytical mind than her. Renee is well versed in multiple areas in HR, and is always willing to assist and back up other teammates if needed. She is the kind of MVP you would want on your team!
