Kendra Reynolds

For the past two and a half years, Kendra solely managed five locations in four states as the HR Manager of a fast-paced manufacturing company. She has experience with recruiting, policy and procedure, benefits administration, employee relations, HRIS integration and onboarding. Prior to Nonprofit HR, she worked for a nonprofit organization as a HR Generalist where her duties were onboarding, HRIS training, benefits administration, audits and mediating employee conflicts. In previous roles, she has assisted in implementing tier structures with the motto of, “the more you learn, the more you earn” to incentivize employees to be crossed trained in multiple positions. She has also helped reduced turnover by spearheading leadership training while also being a strategic partner to save money in vetting and implementing new HRIS systems. She has always prided herself on her ability to build and maintain relationships, as building trust is essential to any healthy working relationship.

Kendra has created new hire onboarding processes and procedures, along with workflow creation, to give employees the best experience from day one. She has created processes for reporting injuries and written policy for workplace safety. Academically, she holds a Bachelors of Science in Political Science with a cognate in Business. In continuing her education, she also attends conferences, webinars and other networking events to expand her knowledge. An interesting fact about her is that she loves to cook—lasagna is a family favorite! As a former Division I athlete for Coastal Carolina University (Go Chanticleers!), she loves to watch basketball and also coached high school girls basketball in her free time. She is the happiest when spending time with her family and friends.
