Tamika S. Harold

What attracted you to Nonprofit HR? The work/life balance, working from home, exceptional reputation, great development and growth opportunities. I found my forever home with Nonprofit HR. I’m so blessed to work for this organization, with these teammates and for our clients. I’m so grateful my life aligned in a way to land me here. I hope my legacy with this firm is strong, full of brilliance, seeped in positive relationships and flooded with excellent HR outcomes. What’s your favorite aspect of talent management? Though I honestly love every single function of HR, recruitment is my absolute favorite.   What’s the coolest thing you’re working on right now and why?    Each of my clients are going through union negotiations. It feels amazing to be able to support their full service HR needs, while being able to contribute to successful bargaining outcomes.   “I’m so grateful my life aligned in a way to land me here. I hope my legacy with this firm is strong, full of brilliance, seeped in positive relationships and flooded with excellent HR outcomes.”

How do you see HR changing in the next five to ten years?

Stronger opportunities for strategic HR as employees and organizations require deeper support than transactional HR due to automation and self-service options expanding.

What’s a fun fact about you?

There are too many to just name one! I am a twin. I played basketball from three years old until college and almost decided to play overseas after college. I grew a garden with my own hands and hope to one day never purchase fruits or vegetables again because I’ll be able to pick anything I want from my own garden. I also hope to feed anyone who wants or needs food from my garden. I dance in the rain every chance I get.

What was your favorite thing to do as a kid?

Play basketball and play with my Barbies!

Which two people would you have brunch with and why?

Michelle Obama. I think if she and I would have met before she became first lady, we’d be good girlfriends. Also, my great grandmother, Daisy. I never met her and would love to hear her side of all the stories my family has told us over the years.

What’s your favorite quote?

Depends on the season of my life. It used to be, “It’s not about what was taken, but what I did with what was left behind.” My current favorite is, “It’s a great day for a great day!”
