Bio
Cara Nelson, PHR®
I worked directly under Robin at Strio Consulting/Peridus Group from 2018-2022. We were both hired at the same time to build an HR department from the ground up. As a very green HR professional at the time, she proved to be the perfect seasoned HR leader to team with as I was learning and growing in my HR career. Robin is extremely approachable and knowledgeable in every facet of Human Resources. She has an amazing way of knowing what needs to be done and carrying it out in the best way suited to the circumstances at hand. She is a caring HR leader who tries to find solutions that benefit the employee and the company. I would highly recommend Robin for an HR leadership position and wouldn’t think twice about working for/with her again in the future. Any organization would benefit greatly from her experience and leadership style.
Heather Lewis, PHR, MSL
Robin’s passion and commitment for HR and organizational success is something to marvel at and model. She is not afraid to have courageous conversations and challenge the status quo. She ensures that the business side of things is compliant and operational whilst ensuring that the people side of things is equitable and inclusive. From my first encounter with Robin in 2011 as a student at LSU serving as the VP of Operations for the SHRM LSU chapter to later working alongside her in several roles while she led as a top executive as the VP of HR at Hollywood Casino BR, Robin’s commitment to developing both me and the workforce, as well as using her knowledge, expertise, and position to champion change, has never wavered. She has been a dedicated mentor, coworker, and colleague for over a decade, and I can wholeheartedly attest that I am a better professional by knowing her. Robin keeps the HUMAN in Human Resources. She is truly an advocate for making organizations better by making HR better.
Robin Tassin Liggett, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, GPHR (she/her)
Robin facilitated several HR/People Strategy workshop sessions at a recent industry gathering for HR Leaders that I helped plan. Bringing expertise and insight, she shared numerous practical examples while simultaneously challenging us to re-think our approach to delivering HR in areas ranging from talent acquisition to onboarding to rewards & recognition. She has a no-nonsense approach to her presentation that is refreshing and pushes HR professionals to think beyond the stereotypes of HR. I can't wait to ask her to present again!
