Uncommon HR Mission

Redefining the Meaning of HR

Prior to founding UnCommon Human Resources, Dale was the Global Chief Human Resource Officer for NYSE Euronext.  Dale served as the business liaison to the Human Resources and Compensation Committees of the Board and managed functions as varied as Compensation, Benefits, HRIS, Executive and Management Development, Diversity & Inclusion, Ethics and Business Conduct and Corporate Administration. Dale has an inherent belief that we all must give back to the best of our abilities. 

​

The way in which Dale gives back through her profession is by working diligently to bridge the gaps she's noticed in HR and supporting companies she believes in. Instead of just focusing on what is best for the business or what is best for the people, she uses her extensive experience to make strategic and informed decisions about the best way to serve all of the people in the best interest of the business. She truly believes businesses' people should always be at the center of every business decision.

 

Currently, Dale functions as a trusted confidant and advisor to Boards, management, and employees alike and is known for her hands-on, cost-effective, creative, and client-focused solutions addressing human capital challenges for small to medium businesses and not-for-profits.
