WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ReedGroup®, leading international provider of health and productivity solutions for large employers, announced today that they have hired Alexis Kearns as Senior Vice President, Human Resources.

We are in a new, exciting chapter at ReedGroup, and Alexis’ HR skills, coupled with her business acumen, will be an integral part of our continued growth and success.”
Alexis has spent her career focused on transformational change management, building HR strategy and teams that unlock human performance, pre- and post-merger and acquisition human capital planning, leadership development, team effectiveness, and executive coaching.
“A company’s greatest competitive advantage is the high performance of its people, and I believe HR teams meaningfully contribute to the goals of a business,” said Kearns. “My purpose is to create an environment for employees to thrive in, be their best selves, and grow productive and purposeful careers.
“I am also passionate about the company’s mission,” said Kearns. “We support our clients’ employees when they are going through the most difficult times of their lives, and we make their experience easier.”
