A writing partnership was born when the first edition of The Big Book of HR hit the market in 2012. Since that time, Barbara Mitchell and Cornelia Gamlem have gone on to write four more books, see them translated into other languages, and receive prestigious awards.
Barbara Mitchell is enthusiastic about helping organizations find, hire, engage and retain the best available talent. That's why she began consulting after working as an HR Executive in corporations. She's the founder and Managing Partner of The Mitchell Group, a management consulting practice that helps a wide variety of clients with people and talent management issues.
Cornelia Gamlem is passionate about helping organizations develop and maintain respectful workplaces. For that reason, she took her HR expertise, gained working for a Fortune 500 IT services company, and founded the Gems Group, a management consulting firm offering clients solutions to employee relations, workplace diversity and related HR and business issues.
