Abundance HR
My name is EC Arcos (they/them). I am an NYC-born HR consultant with over 6 years of leading people operations & culture initiatives. I graduated from Boston College in 2018 with a B.A. in French & Communication. I earned my SHRM-CP (2021) and SHRM People Analytics credentials (2023), and enjoy applying my knowledge, skills, and competencies to grow great socially-minded brands across the globe.
I am fluent in French and speak Spanish proficiently. My home base currently is on Piscataway and Nacotchtank ancestral lands, known as Washington DC. My demonstrated experience lies across all areas of HR functions: recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, employee engagement, technology & workforce management, performance, compensation & benefits administration, and org culture advocacy.
I currently work full-time at a global non-profit supporting 60 staff across 14 different countries. I also provide consulting services to organizations that are passionate about creating a radically inclusive employee experience and employer brand. I train clients on gender inclusivity and LGBTQ issues in the workplace.

-
