Everything changed when the #metoo movement hit this past year and we, along with the rest of the world, have watched old systems of power crumble. And yet, as the collective consciousness has raised around us, we think that there is still a reckoning that needs to occur within HR. We are inspired by the myriad movements that have formed and yet, one of the most important audiences has been left out of the conversation so far: us. So, we sent out a test balloon in the form of an Instagram account. We began calling out our fellow HR professionals for being part of the problem, and calling on HR to figure out how to be the solution. And what started as a simple Instagram account has very quickly become a global movement and thriving community of disruptors. We`d love for you to join us.
“Patina” is defined as “the highly desirable and sought-after finish that is created naturally over time and which is enhanced with the passage of time.” Patina. It`s a word that resonates with all of us at Patina Solutions. After all, we built our company by employing the world`s most experience-based business model. We are truly inspired by the experiences, knowledge and career accomplishments of our professionals. And every day, we are honored by their interest and enthusiastic commitment to our company and serving our clients. From our humble beginnings in Milwaukee in late 2008, we have kept our focus on becoming the employer of choice for those professionals with 25+ years of experience who desire — and choose — to work in rewarding, engagement-based roles. Since that time, we have grown to 10 offices nationwide, with increasing international capabilities to serve. And we are just getting started. Patina has successfully raised growth capital from individual angel investors who believe in the Patina mission and in our leadership team. So here`s what we strive to live up to as a company: Be devoted to serving our clients — while always demanding excellence from ourselves. Treat our employees with respect and continue to operate with integrity and impeccable ethical standards. Any success we`ve experienced is directly attributed to the successes we`ve delivered to our clients. We`ll never lose the passion we have for doing the right things.
