About Us
About Windward HCM
What Drives & Motivates Us
- We understand the importance of transformations – how to evaluate and continually improve a function, process, team or whatever it takes to optimize the human capital in an organization whether the company is undergoing change or just the function.
- We are business-driven – while we have deep experience in all human capital (human resources) functions, we also have a deep understanding of what drives a business and approach all human capital projects from a “business-first” perspective.
- We are obsessed with data and analytics – understanding the real data behind our HCM programs can build better alignment to business strategy and overall effectiveness of programs.
- We are driven by both evolutions and transformations of people management. The world continues to evolve at a fast pace, and studies continue to show that businesses need to move quickly to remain relevant. We are obsessed with understanding these changing dynamics and how they should be implemented in our organizations to optimize talent.
