“Turning the Corner HR has been a great partner for The Denver Foundation. We started working with them when we had some turnover in the HR team. Turning the Corner HR stepped in and provided support in the areas of benefits administration, compliance, employee relations, and navigating the early stages of COVID-19. We worked with Amanda Sarti and she was always flexible, supportive, and served as a great HR business partner. I highly recommend Turning the Corner HR’s services. You will not be disappointed.”
—Rob Hill, Director of Ops, Denver Foundation
“Working with John was a godsend at a very critical time for the museum. His HR guidance helped us navigate structural changes and resolve issues as they arose. The recruitment partnership Amy provided resulted in great hires who have already positively impacted our team. They were easy to work with and a reliable partner throughout our long-term engagement.”
—Susan Heldman, CFO, Wings over the Rockies
“John seemed to have his finger on the pulse even before we started talking. He knew exactly what questions to ask. He seemed to be asking the questions that uncovered the things we wanted to bubble up as areas that can be enhanced and improved. I think that’s the sign of a good consulting relationship. A good consultant can look through the weeds and look at what those underlying issues are. Money well spent. Excellent job. I will tell Kendra the same when we speak.”
— David Wolenski, President & Principal, Electro Mechanical Products (EMP)
