Echelon HR
Shaping the Future of Business

Trusted by Leaders Across Industries
Hear how Echelon HR Group has helped organizations elevate their people, culture, and leadership.
Working with Howard Tiegel has been transformational for our organization. He brings not only deep domain expertise but also a strategic mindset and a rare ability to connect across all levels of the business. From front office to back, Howard builds relationships that foster collaboration and drive meaningful results. He goes beyond traditional human resources—aligning people strategy with business goals, navigating complex challenges with ease, and delivering innovative solutions that boost engagement, productivity, and transformation efforts. What stands out most is his genuine commitment to our team. He listens, understands, and makes people feel seen, heard, and valued.If you're looking for a partner to elevate your human capital function and build a culture of trust and performance, I can't recommend Howard—and Echelon HR Group—highly enough.
Howard is an exceptional leader during periods of change; most recently evidenced during the pandemic and subsequent return to office periods. Howard has the unique ability to parse through competing interests and deliver creative solutions that align stakeholders. Howard’s demonstrated skill in delivering direct and concise communication has proven effective and impactful in supporting employees and maintaining the necessary energy and commitment to change through to completion.
Howard Tiegel does more than talk about transformation – he makes it happen. Over nearly two decades, I have observed and experienced the remarkable results of his positive impact on two major organizations. Not only does he understand the importance of establishing a collaborative, innovative and inclusive corporate culture, he knows how to inspire others to create this too. In our increasingly interdependent global marketplace, this type of transformational leadership is mission critical.
Howard Tiegel is one of the savviest and most user-friendly HR professionals around. Having worked with him on several complex projects, including the defense of high-stakes employment litigation that he inherited from a predecessor, Howard’s ability to understand, and solve, difficult problems puts him at the very top of his field. Howard particularly excels in employment matters involving cross-cultural issues, an unusual expertise that can be of enormous value to foreign-based companies.
