Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.  ~Walt Disney
Having worked in Human Resources for large companies (Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, Nickelodeon Resorts) and smaller companies (Westgate Resorts, Colorvision/Amazing Pictures), Chuck gained a unique and flexible perspective on human resources.  His expertise is rooted in bringing Policies and Procedures up to date, creating cultural alignment, employee engagement and ultimately training the team to create clarity within an organization.  
 
HR has many roles, but they all tie up to one imperative...to protect a company, especially in the age of Covid-19. Approaching Human Resources from a “Risk Management” point of view, Chuck stays keenly focused on minimizing a company’s legal exposure to government entities such as the EEOC, DOL, and OSHA.
 
Chuck brings more than his HR Management skills, experience, and strategy into every project that he tackles. His blend of a hands-on, collaborative, flexible, energetic, and entrepreneurial team approach is refreshing and effective as he connects with audiences across all levels of an organization.
 
With a background as a front-line Manager in Operations, he has a unique perspective that many other HR players lack. Donnelly Effect clients love his pragmatic and "down to earth" approach.  Chuck is a team player focused on a positive approach to all situations and finding the best business results for our clients.
