Heather Bischoff

Hello, I'm Heather Bischoff. I began my career in the non-profit sector as a case manager for older adults, where I excelled in creating innovative programs and project plans. In 2010, I received the prestigious American Association of Service Coordinators Innovation in Programming Award at a national level.

Following this recognition, I was recruited to lead a department with 63 direct reports, where I delved into the world of Human Resources. In this role, I developed strategic people operations and performance management plans, even managing to keep employees engaged with zero budget for merit increases while maintaining an impressive 95% retention rate over three years. I applied my case management skills to HR.

In 2021, I launched Upskill Consulting to expand my reach and help more companies alongside my full-time position. Partnering with clients and their teams is deeply rewarding, especially when I can alleviate their HR challenges. This allows me to make a positive impact, which is significant to me.

My approach to Human Resources is holistic, focusing on understanding and balancing business needs, risk management, and talent nurturing. I work diligently to comprehend my clients' businesses, their unique requirements, and deliver cost-effective services that enhance their operations.

I am genuinely passionate about both business and people. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to engage in meaningful work with exceptional colleagues every day. This doesn't occur by chance; it happens when leaders collaborate with the right team, such as Upskill Consulting.

Circumstances can sometimes stop people from achieving their dreams. Heather didn't allow that to happen. She was curious, she was tenacious. She learned to live life to the fullest. Heather is a fresh voice for women; inspiring shifts toward authenticity. Heather teaches people how to gain power over limiting labels, while creating environments that improve effectiveness through understanding the nuances of personality.
