About Thrive HR
About Me
Welcome to Thrive HR! I’m Michele Trotter, the Founder and President of Thrive HR, where I bring over 25 years of diverse human resources experience to help small businesses thrive. Having worked with incredible organizations like Southwest Airlines, Pier 1 Imports, and U.S. Renal Care, I’ve honed my skills in navigating complex HR challenges, building exceptional teams, and delivering results-driven, people-centered solutions.
I founded Thrive HR with a clear mission: to empower small businesses with the HR tools and strategies they need to grow and succeed. Whether it’s streamlining onboarding processes, creating compliant employee handbooks, or fostering a positive workplace culture, my goal is to provide actionable solutions that simplify HR and make life easier for business owners.
Why Thrive HR?
At Thrive HR, we live by our core values of FIRE — Fun, Integrity, Results, and Excellence. These principles guide everything we do, from creating customized HR strategies to building meaningful client relationships. I believe that HR is more than policies and compliance; it’s about unlocking the potential of your people to drive your business forward.
What Sets Me Apart?
As someone who has taken the leap from corporate HR to entrepreneurship, I understand the unique challenges that small business owners face. My experience working across industries and states means I’m equipped to tackle even the most complex employment requirements with practical, easy-to-implement solutions. My clients appreciate my ability to cut through the noise and get to "yes" quickly, all while minimizing risk and keeping their businesses compliant.
I’m passionate about using modern tools like AI and performance automation to bring innovation to HR. From implementing automation for performance reviews to delivering impactful e-learning programs, I stay at the forefront of HR trends so you don’t have to.
