About

“I lead with integrity, promoting honesty, transparency and discretion in all interactions.”

Hajnalka Corbo, Founder

I am an HR executive who has spent more than twenty years on the people side of growing businesses, across national logistics and e-commerce operations, healthcare, supply chain and technology. I have held Director and Vice President roles, built HR teams from the ground up, and guided leaders through everything from a first handbook to a full organizational restructure.

Leaders trust me because I am confident making and carrying out difficult decisions, and because I bring warmth and clear judgment to the people affected by them. I am as comfortable in the boardroom as on the operations floor.

Corbo Human Capital Consulting is how I bring that experience to more organizations, and how I pursue my passion for coaching leaders to recognize and nurture the best in their people.

Assessment-informed practice

I integrate behavioural and emotional intelligence assessments into my HR consulting and leadership coaching practice to help individuals and leaders build greater self-awareness, understand how their behaviours and emotions influence others, and identify meaningful opportunities for growth and development.

Within HR consulting, I also use assessment insights to support talent development, leadership development, team effectiveness, succession planning and targeted Individual Development Plans (IDPs), helping organizations move beyond assessment results to meaningful and sustainable development.

In their own words.

We hired Hajnalka in the fall of 2020 and I have been extremely happy with her work and her dedication to Greensaver and staff. She has stayed on top of every issue, revamped and updated the HR policies, made sure [Greensaver] was following all the HR and labour laws just to mention a few.

Hajnalka is very professional and easy going individual. During the difficult Covid years she has helped staff to cope with it, and established mental health and wellness seminars for staff. I will be very happy to recommend her to similar role in any company. She works hard to accomplish everything that comes her way. She will adapt easily and she is a delightful person to talk to.

I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Hajnalka at Greensaver for just over 2.5 years. As a manager, she exhibited strong leadership skills due to her extensive work experience, open communication, exceptional time-management skills when managing the Human Resources team and 160+ additional internal employees, and not to mention – her contagious confidence.

Hajnalka has allowed me to excel in my role as a Health and Safety Advisor by allowing me the autonomy to explore my academic aspirations, continuously coached me on bridging the gap between a beginner-to-senior health and safety professional, and most importantly, believed in me. I have no doubt that Hajnalka will continue to excel in her role as a Human Resources professional and continue to build positive work relationships and foster a positive work environment. Hajnalka’s ability to critically process and analyze situations, as well as her attributes of trust, appreciation, and motivation will be an asset to any and all future employers.

Health, Safety and Environment SpecialistReported to Hajnalka directly · 2022

In a day and age where HR departments have the challenge of navigating the minefield of fit for work policies, cultural, gender, and racial awareness and sensitivity issues in the workplace, Hajnalka has demonstrated compassion, respect and has been a true professional and example for any in her industry to emulate.

Hajnalka was the first face of Dynacare when I was introduced to the company and she did a wonderful job helping to onboard me and guide my transition into my new role as Alberta Operations Manager. I saw in Hajnalka all the skills and EQ of a true HR professional, but more I also saw in her leadership qualities which have since helped her to move into roles as Director and VP of HR departments in other companies. Hajnalka always seemed to balance her role as an HR professional with being a colleague, wife and mom in a way that was genuine, authentic and admirable. It was a true pleasure to work with Hajnalka and I highly endorse her as an HR professional in whatever industry and role she may pursue.
