🌍 Happy International HR Day!
A Message from Martin and Foster Consulting
Today, we pause to recognize the people who power the workplace—Human Resources professionals across the globe.
From managing crises and navigating compliance to developing talent, guiding leaders, and championing workplace equity, HR professionals do the hard, human work every day. On International HR Day, we celebrate you—the strategists, advocates, problem-solvers, and the heart of every organization.
At Martin and Foster Consulting, this day holds deep personal meaning.
With over 35 years of experience in global HR leadership, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside organizations through seasons of growth, change, and transformation. My partner, Shannon Foster, brings over 20 years of strategic HR and operational leadership, grounded in the belief that doing the right thing is not optional—it’s foundational.
Together, we’ve supported companies across industries through:
📈 Organizational restructuring and rapid growth
🧭 Leadership coaching and succession planning
🤝 DEI&B strategies rooted in action—not lip service
⚙️ HCM systems transformation and workforce innovation
⚖️ Navigating complex employment law and compliance landscapes
But above all, the most meaningful part of our work has always been investing in people. Helping them grow. Making them feel seen, heard, and valued.
To Every HR Leader—Thank You.
Whether you’re rewriting policies, leading a tough conversation, coaching a new manager, or just keeping everything moving behind the scenes—take a moment today to recognize the impact you’re making.
You are doing work that matters.
Let’s keep raising the standard of leadership, building cultures rooted in accountability and compassion, and making decisions that honor both the business and the people who make it possible.
We see you. We honor you.
And we’re proud to stand with you.
Happy International HR Day!
With appreciation,
Dr. Anita Martin & Shannon Foster
