Background

About Ann Bruner

I believe people are the true assets of any organization. As Senior Director of Employee Relations & Development, I partner with leaders across 17 states to support 300 employees with strategies rooted in coaching, trust, and growth.I’ve helped “change the face” of HR at my organization—shifting from being seen as compliance enforcers ("the cops") to valued coaches and business partners. From strategic planning and cultural development to payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee lifecycle management, I bring both breadth and depth of HR expertise.I’m passionate about helping leaders unlock the strengths of their people, resolve challenges with empathy, and foster cultures where employees feel trusted and equipped to thrive. Known for my ability to juggle priorities while staying people-focused, I thrive in fast-paced environments where both strategy and heart are required.
