Adam Reidel is a Vice President Human Resources at Mercola. He possess expertise in human resources, talent acquisition, onboarding, leadership, hris and 45 more skills. He is proficient in Swedish and Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "Adam is the single most talented People Ops professional I've ever worked with -- which is saying something given the companies I've had the pleasure of being at. Not only is he the only person who could make me feel truly comfortable with the nuances of HR and compliance to the point where I could trust him 110% to handle it without me (and make decisions independently), he was also the heart of the company as a leader building our culture. As a CEO, I obviously know the importance of culture in recruiting, retention, and maximizing productivity -- but it has never been an area in which I was specialized or creative. I could trust Adam to build initiatives, launch programs, and even proof-read my emails before I sent them to the whole company or give feedback on my Company Town Hall content to make sure that it would resonate the way I wanted to. He's highly competent. Objectively. He also happens to be an extremely and genuinely good person, subjectively. He was a pleasure to have on my team. Those two variables combined made him incredibly effective -- just look at the employee engagement & satisfaction statistics during his tenure! He's who you want handle the black-and-white details of People Ops but he's *also* who you want on your team when you need to navigate the more nuanced gray areas of building a great culture and team. Oh and he did all of this without ever getting additional budget (we're a startup, not HubSpot!). I swear he makes People Ops yield appear out of thin air." and "When you think People Ops, the first person that comes to mind should always be Adam Reidel. I've worked with some amazing people leaders, yet his focus on employee well-being, the entire hiring process, global leadership, and knowing what to say and do in the most positive manner is awe-inspiring. I learned a lot from Adam - his implementation of a new HRIS system, payroll vendor, job leveling, employee feedback, and with his consistent focus on OKRs - makes him a logical and competitive leader for any organization lucky enough to have him on their team. It would be delightful if I could work with Adam again simply because he is the BEST!"
