Member Testimonials

What I value most about my McLean & Company experience is layered. It is the conversations that we are having with our Analysts. It is compounded with the materials available to us based on the research on the website, the blueprints, the PowerPoint presentations that have already been developed that we're able to use within our organization.

Dr. Lisa DuBose, Director of Employee Relations & Professional Development

As we've evolved as a Human Resources team and the company has evolved, it's important for us that, as we're looking to enhance our strategic offerings throughout the organization, we're able to lean on McLean & Company to help drive that through.

Karen Smith, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

My focus and goalwasthis: I need to find resources that my team can make use of and that I can trust, meaning they are backed by research and are keeping up with what is happening in the world. I found McLean & Company and I have not looked back since.

Vivian Mora, Chief People Officer

We are facing some things at F&G that are new to us, that are challenging in ways that we haven't been challenged before. And as we reached out to McLean to talk through those challenges, one of the things that we know every time we reach out to someone at McLean is that we're going to have incredible partners to walk through these things with.

Rachel Gustafson, Associate Vice President for Talent Management and AI 

I consider McLean & Company to be an important member of my leadership team. A traditional consultant/client relationship doesn’t give that value.

Chief Human Resources Officer

Some of the challenges I have are really no different than many other HR professionals out there. When we talk about change management, performance management, culture, and succession planning, those are all key topics for anybody in this role. And McLean's products cover everything.

Anita Orozco, Vice President of Human Resources

Our progress is largely due to the support that we’ve received from McLean & Company. Their understanding and level of engagement have been critical.

Patricia Lacey, Manager of People and Organization Development

McLean really has come through for us in two big areas in the last year. One being the Employee Engagement Survey and secondarily, being a meaningful leadership class for some of our new managers. And that is the Management Fundamentals class. We have now had two cohorts go through it with excellent results and a lot of great feedback, and I think it's making a very positive difference in these new managers' lives.

Kristine Frost, Chief Human Resources Officer

The power and immediacy of the Engagement survey gave us the ability to develop a strategy to help shift the paradigm and become the learning organization that we need to be. It’s truly the reason McLean & Company is a partner with UT System today.

Dr. Brian Dickens, CHRO

Because I use McLean a lot, my team has started using McLean a lot, independent of me. They will often come to me and say, we looked at this blueprint, this is what we want to roll out. I love that because I know it is already validated work, already sound research. It is enabling them to be creative, enabling them to be independent, and enabling us to do better work. I just get to be the beneficiary of their great ideas.

Heather Lambert, VP of Learning and Organizational Development, Marketing, and Communications

It takes a tremendous amount of energy to build everything in-house, and for many of us, we just don't have the resource or the time. The partnership really provides on demand resources and knowledge to help propel us forward. You can get a one-stop shop and access all those resources to help guide strategy and ultimately execution.

Neal Martino, Vice President of People

What I really enjoy is the relationship that we have with McLean, whether that's my relationship with the executive counselor or our account reps. We can call them and they are very supportive and always try and find solutions for us.

Heather Krablin, Chief HR Officer
