Laura W Moore

I am an accomplished HR leader with more than two decades of experience designing and implementing workforce programs that strengthen engagement, improve retention, and align people strategy with organizational goals. My career has focused on helping organizations of all sizes—global enterprises, high-growth companies, and mission-driven firms—build the infrastructure and programs needed to support employees and drive measurable business success.

I bring expertise in workforce planning, talent acquisition, employee experience, and organizational effectiveness. At IBM, I developed and managed large-scale workforce programs that saved millions while improving employee flexibility and well-being. Initiatives like the “Take Time Program” and “Talent Fitness Program” balanced efficiency with care for employees, proving that smart HR design can deliver both cost savings and stronger engagement. I also built global communication and change management strategies that improved adoption of new policies and programs across tens of thousands of employees.

In consulting roles, I have advised organizations across industries on how to elevate the employee experience. This has included creating employee resource group frameworks, guiding leaders through workforce transitions, and developing engagement programs that address both cultural and operational needs. My ability to translate data into actionable insights allows organizations to understand trends in hiring, retention, and employee sentiment, and then act decisively to improve outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have led the design of HR and people programs that range from benefits and well-being initiatives to leadership development and employee recognition. I am skilled at partnering with executives and managers to align policies with strategy, ensuring that organizations not only attract the right talent but also create an environment where employees want to stay and grow.

I am recognized for my ability to connect strategy to action. Whether scaling a workforce, modernizing HR programs, or building structures that support engagement, I bring a practical and collaborative approach. My focus is always on creating programs that are meaningful to employees, easy for managers to adopt, and valuable to the business. Above all, I am passionate about creating workplaces where employees feel supported, leaders have the tools to succeed, and organizations see the return on investing in their people.

On a personal note, I also have a side passion for interior design, cooking, and lifestyle. Having renovated two homes, I especially enjoy bathroom design, where I can combine function with style. I also love cooking and party planning—finding joy in bringing people together, whether in the workplace or around the dinner table.
