Tracy is an excellent business partner with a passion for clear and practical approaches in human resources. She is quite knowledgeable in her areas of expertise; emanates professionalism; understanding of business processes and styles.

Tracy has been an integral part of our team on numerous occasions directing the Human Resources efforts for highly complicated, diverse and time sensitive engagements. Time and time again she has proven to be self motivated and highly skilled in the area of Human Resources. Her ability to consistently make the right decision, regardless of the situation, has been invaluable. Tracy’s efforts have resulted in significant value on a regular basis through cost reductions, liability mitigation and process enhancements.

I’ve known Tracy Bannon for 25 years through our HR professional association and more recently as co-consultants on a multi-year HR consulting project. Tracy is the consummate professional with an uncommon ability to build rapport, trust and credibility quickly in her role as a knowledgeable business partner.

Tracy has the ability to sort through complex operational issues and offer practical, effective suggestions that clients understand. I’ve observed Tracy in situations in which she has delivered constructive feedback to reluctant managers who eventually understood and accepted the feedback to improve a system, a process or an interpersonal relationship.

I relied on Tracy’s expertise and experience in labor relations during our co-consulting to develop a strategic approach to compensation, ensuring a fair, reasonable and affordable plan.

I wholeheartedly endorse Tracy Bannon as a knowledgeable, analytical and personable HR professional.

As the Executive Director of our non-profit, I must admit that my training and experience is that of a social worker. I have learned that it is necessary to utilize outside professionals/consultants who are experts in areas that I am not. When it comes to Human Resources, I personally find the topic dizzying and tedious. Equally so, I find most of the HR professionals, well, not very relatable or accommodating.

Recently, our organization found ourselves in a very challenging position that threatened the future of our mission. Most of the challenge was in the area of poor employees functioning – frontline through management. As a recommendation from our agency attorney, we hired Tracy Bannon as a HR consultant. Simply put, we couldn’t have been more pleased and grateful for her professional service. She helped us get back on track and gave us the tools/resources/support for our future.

Tracy is the most relatable HR professional that I have ever worked with. She is both a good educator and a no-nonsense, decisive decision-maker. Her presentation style and content was well received and, most importantly, internalized by all level of the staff that she encountered. She was not patronizing but, rather, her style somehow demonstrates a genuine empathy for our HR challenges.

During the crisis that we were experiencing, I needed surgical-like remedies and Tracy didn’t hesitate or waffle. Instead, she gave an appropriate, limited amount of recommendations for us to choose from and assisted with the follow-up collateral information based on our decided direction. This is both cost effective service as well as a timely response to critically needed change.

Finally, Tracy was very sensitive to our non-profit financial limitations. Her generosity, skill and ease-to-work-with demonstrates a quality of character that many others in the consultant world do not possess.

The Tempe Tourism Office has had the great privilege to work with Tracy on a variety of human resources projects during the last few years. Tracy’s advice has been invaluable to us. With her expert guidance, we totally re-wrote our HR policies and procedures in addition to updating our personnel practices. Tracy’s attention to detail is extraordinary. She is extremely responsive, always professional, and approaches her work with sincere compassion.
