About Rachel Halal

As a dynamic HR Manager, I possess a proven track record of aligning people strategies with business goals, driving employee engagement, and fostering inclusive workplace cultures. Skilled in talent acquisition, performance management, and employee relations, I build high-performing teams and manage change to support organizational growth. I designed a comprehensive onboarding handbook and customized workforce policies at Forvis to meet state-specific regulatory requirements and align with client expectations. Working closely with leadership teams, I ensured that the onboarding process not only optimized the seamless integration of new hires but also created a foundation for long-term employee success. This collaborative approach strengthened cross-functional coordination, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced the new hire experience across departments. Building on my passion for fostering inclusive work environments, I spearheaded Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives at CohnReznick. Partnering with the Senior Manager, I developed an annual D&I event calendar that spotlighted key cultural celebrations across regional offices. These efforts were pivotal in nurturing an atmosphere of engagement, belonging, and respect, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to inclusiveness while driving employee participation and morale.
