Employee Spotlight: Meet Emily Kalinowski
We are thrilled to shine a light on Emily, our HR Business Partner, who has been an integral part of the team for the past 9 years!
What drew Emily to HR? The variety! Between recruiting, benefits, payroll, and employee relations, no two days look the same, and that's exactly why she loves it. Today, Emily plays a key role in helping employees navigate challenges, connecting them with the right resources, and creating a workplace where people can thrive. It's a job that requires balancing the needs of employees with the needs of the business, a balancing act that isn't always visible, but makes all the difference behind the scenes.
Emily takes immense pride in the people at Friedman, from the teammates always willing to lend a hand to those eager to teach you something new along the way.
When she's not busy supporting the Friedman team, Emily loves spending time in the kitchen, hanging out with her family, and playing with her Golden Retriever, Henry!
We are so proud to have Emily on our team. Join us in celebrating her 9 years of dedication!
