Background

About Amber Talbott

As an experienced HR and operations professional, I bring over 15 years of cross-functional leadership across employee relations, compliance, and organizational change—domestically and globally. I’ve served as a trusted partner to senior leadership in both union and non-union environments, handling complex employee concerns, workplace investigations, cultural challenges, and multi-state/multi-national compliance.I’ve worked across a range of organizations—from long-established global brands like Coca-Cola to fast-moving startups like Verbruggen Palletizing Solutions Inc—adapting my HR approach to fit each company’s structure and needs. At Verbruggen, I helped build HR foundations from the ground up, establishing scalable policies, systems, and compliance practices to support growth.My global HR experience includes managing visa processes and international mobility for expatriates and inpatriates transitioning to and from The Netherlands, and leading sensitive employee relations investigations involving cultural differences, sexual harassment, racial bias, and gender equity. I specialize in proactively identifying and mitigating ER risks, surfacing trends, and coaching leaders through conflict resolution, disciplinary actions, and performance management. I hold a SHRM-CP certification, am scheduled to take the HRCI SPHRi exam in August 2025, and am currently completing my B.A. in Human Resource Management at Western Governors University, with six remaining courses and an expected graduation by October 2025.
