Sheryl E. McLeod, MBA, SHRM-CP
Founder & Principal Consultant
Hi there!
I'm Sheryl, and I'm passionate about helping businesses thrive through smart HR practices. With over 20 years in human resources and an MBA under my belt, I've learned that great HR isn't just about policies and procedures—it's about creating workplaces where people love to work and businesses can grow.
What I Bring to Your Business
I specialize in making HR work better for everyone. Whether you need help finding the right talent, keeping your team engaged, or ensuring you're compliant with all those ever-changing regulations, I've got you covered. My experience spans everything from startups to established organizations, and I particularly love working with small businesses and nonprofits.
A Story I'm Proud Of
One of my greatest passions is helping new graduates successfully transition into the workforce. While at Petrojam Limited in Kingston, Jamaica, I saw this passion in action. When the company planned a major upgrade, we realized we'd face a critical shortage of engineers for the new commissioned plant.
Working closely with management and senior engineers, I created and implemented a one-year graduate internship program that gave recent college graduates hands-on experience while allowing our senior team to evaluate their readiness and attitude.
The results? We hired 70% of those interns, and the program was so successful that several other manufacturing companies in Jamaica adopted it. It's incredibly rewarding to bridge that gap between education and career success.
My Areas of Expertise
- Finding and keeping great people
- Building performance management systems that actually work
- Creating inclusive environments where employees thrive
- Navigating HR compliance (without the headaches)
- Implementing HR technology solutions like Workday, ADP, and Paychex
Beyond the Office
When I'm not helping businesses build amazing teams, you'll find me spending time with my family, enjoying gospel music, or curled up with a good book. My faith, family, and love of learning keep me grounded and inspired to bring my best to every client partnership.
