Hello, I am Tally Lauter. In 2012 I was fortunate to become a Director of Human Resources with AIM HR Solutions. I provide onsite Human Resource services for several businesses in the Boston South and Cambridge areas. I also facilitate provide training in several units of the Human Resource and Supervisory Certificate Series. Before working for AIM I worked for several large / medium size Manufacturing Companies as an Engineer, Plant Manager and Human Resource Professional since 1970. The companies were public as well as private or family owned businesses. With many of the companies I had extensive union experience. During the time I have worked in Massachusetts Companies all of them were/are members of AIM and I have always found AIM to be a valued asset and I personally participated as a member in AIM HR roundtables, seminars and committees. What I enjoy most about working for AIM is being a resource to small and medium size businesses that are privately held, some nonprofit, and to help them deal with HR issues and bringing my 45 plus years of experience to assist them in avoiding and solving problems.
