Exude Human Capital (Exude HC) is a boutique consulting firm focused on the connectivity of HR, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), and leadership development. Exude provides cutting-edge people strategies to organizations, particularly those dealing with factors impacting the ever-changing workplace. From strategic advisory to tactical support, their team of consultants are prepared to complement an existing HR team, support specific HR, DEIB, and Leadership Development projects, or to serve as an organization’s human resources partner.

“We act as a thought partner and a strategic advisor to help firms reimagine their HR practices, processes and policies to remain competitive and relevant,” states Alison DiFlorio, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Exude Human Capital.

Established in 2006, Exude HC believes one of their key differentiators is meeting organizations where they are and providing customized solutions to help support their people strategy. Using proprietary assessment tools, the team seeks to understand the strengths and opportunities in areas such as culture, compliance, compensation, recruitment, DEIB, and experience. Exude then helps organizations to develop and implement action plans that build off those strengths and areas of opportunity. According to Kimberly Scheetz, COO & Managing Partner of Exude Human Capital, “we’ve observed, that many organizations seeking to change their culture do not always have the bandwidth or expertise to see it to fruition. That is the value of Exude Human Capital – we think strategically and act tactically.”

Exude takes a customized approach to working with every client. Their solutions include HR outsourcing, compensation studies, organizational or functional assessments, DEIB advisory, human resources advisory, training programs, leadership development and coaching for all levels of management. They create a thoughtful plan to ensure solutions drive positive and sustainable impact. Exude’s diverse consulting team has experience in multiple industries and verticals that enable them to share best practices and lessons learned with their clients. They attribute their own company culture to their success. “There are only a few things that are magical in business. One of those is culture. At the end of the day, the biggest driver for getting people to align, to focus on a singular goal, is to give them purpose,” says Marcos Lopez, CEO & Co-Founder of Exude Human Capital.

One of Exude HC’s notable successes was working with a market leader that had concerns around attracting and retaining talent to support their ambitious growth plans. The client had lost some key talent and recognized that their HR function was not structured to support current needs. Exude Human Capital stepped in and through a combination of assessment tools and focus groups was able to help this group reimagine HR and identify key areas of opportunity. They then partnered with the organization to create an HR department focused on talent and served as a coach to the internal team for two years. With a sound HR infrastructure in place to support growth, the client expanded to multiple states while doubling their number of employees. The HR department’s performance has continued to grow and expand their focus around more strategic initiatives.
