HRT Systems

We believe there’s a more compassionate, human(e) way to empower your team and generate dramatic results in productivity, retention, and upward team mobility. This system, already deployed for thousands of employees across the Midwest, results in a rich culture that’s built from its foundation up and most importantly, is built to endure the chaos of the broader employment market. With an ultimate vision to democratize the HRT System through writing and education, we’re now serving as a scrappy culture consultancy for brands, big and small, seeking to transform their operating results and rebuild trust with their teams. Our clients, ranging from construction to retail to hospitality, are led by inspired executives who truly believe people are at the heart of their business. We serve as the coach, change manager, and leadership developer to make it all happen. HRT is new, but our ideas and experts have been generating results for years. Our work began nearly 20 years ago when our co-founder, Joe DeLoss, began innovating as an entrepreneur and workforce developer; pioneering new approaches to engage workforces in hospitality, logistics, and call center environments. His work, bolstered by the ingenuity of HRT’s other founders, Cam Williams and Shannon English, led to the creation and sale of a best-in-class Midwest restaurant chain called Hot Chicken Takeover. This work has inspired leaders and brands across the country.
