Workforce Challenges Are Complicated.
The Right Advice Shouldn't Be.
Municipalities, public-sector organizations, and non-profits face increasing pressure to manage workforce challenges while navigating complex legislation, unionized environments, governance responsibilities, and limited resources.
With more than 25 years of senior Human Resources leadership experience, I help leaders confidently navigate labour relations issues, workplace investigations, policy and compliance challenges, organizational change, and difficult employee situations before they become larger organizational risks.
Trusted by executive leaders to address workplace challenges, coach people leaders, strengthen labour relations, and build sustainable people strategies.
About Me
Experience Matters When the Stakes are High
After spending more than 25 years in senior Human Resources leadership roles, I founded Corey HR Studio to help organizations navigate the workforce challenges that can have the greatest impact on their people, operations, and reputation.
My career has been built almost entirely within complex public-sector and unionized environments where leadership decisions often carried significant operational, legal, financial, and reputational implications.
I've advised senior leaders through organizational change, labour relations matters, workplace investigations, governance challenges, policy development initiatives, and legislative compliance issues.
Today, I bring that same experience and practical perspective to municipalities, public-sector organizations, and non-profits across New Brunswick.
Key Accomplishments
Served as lead negotiator and strategic advisor during collective bargaining, successfully preparing for and conducting negotiations with multiple bargaining units.
Coached countless people leaders through complex and high-stakes employee conversations, significantly enhancing their confidence, judgement, and capability in managing challenging workplace situations.
Led numerous complex workplace investigations, combining impartial fact-finding, robust analysis, and procedural fairness to deliver defensible outcomes, minimize organizational risk, and build trust in leadership decision-making.
Implemented performance excellence programs that strengthened accountability, enhanced employee performance, and supported organizational success for multiple organizations.
Authored and implemented comprehensive HR policies, procedures, and standard operating frameworks, improving consistency, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Designed and delivered leadership development programs that strengthened the skills, confidence, and effectiveness of emerging and established leaders.
If you’re looking for experienced, practical and trusted support, I’d love to help.

Is This You?
Most leaders don't call HR when everything is going well.
They call when there's a difficult employee situation, a workplace investigation, a labour relations challenge, a leadership gap, or a major organizational change that needs to be managed carefully.
You may benefit from support if:
✓ You need senior-level HR expertise but don't require a full-time HR executive.
✓ A workplace complaint has been filed.
✓ A grievance is escalating.
✓ Policies need updating or don't exist.
✓ Leaders are managing difficult employee situations.
✓ Workplace conflict is affecting morale or productivity.
✓ Organizational change is creating uncertainty.
✓ HR capacity is limited.
If any of these situations sound familiar, let's talk.
