Expertise and Insight Since 2010
My work is driven by a passion for people, culture, and lifelong learning
I’m Robert Hayes, I began working full-time in Human Resources during my undergraduate studies, managing background checks, internship programs, and leave policies at The Ohio State University.
While completing my Master’s in Human Resource Management, I transitioned to the private sector, joining a cryogenic engineering and manufacturing firm. There, I led recruiting, talent, performance, and compensation programs—eventually becoming HR Director while also taking on select non-conflicting consulting roles. Across my career I have held leadership positions in multiple organizations recognized as Top Workplaces for their culture.
Now with fourteen years of experience in HR, I am pursuing an MA in American Studies in Germany, where my research focuses on U.S. work culture and organizational life. Drawing on this combination of international perspective, bilingual practice in English and German, and a record of organizational leadership, I started RHSPC to help clients rethink HR practices in ways that strengthen culture and improve performance.
My approach combines critical analysis with practical application, offering consulting that centers people and culture while addressing the realities of organizational life.
