Through Elizabeth McCurdy Works Inc., and in addition to a thriving HR Consulting business, Liz leads initiatives including the Inclusive Leadership Baseline—a practical framework for building workplaces where inclusion doesn’t have to be requested—and the InsideHR Podcast, which publicizes day to day HR Consultations to expose hidden workplace truths and equip people with tools to navigate and transform the world of work.

Her mission is simple: help organizations and leaders move beyond surface-level fixes to create systems where people and performance thrive together.

True inclusion means not having to ask.

• Data is more powerful than assumptions.
• HR should be about performance, not policing.
• Leadership isn’t a personality trait — it’s a system you build.
• Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a workplace design flaw.
