Welcome! I’m Dawanna Kennedy, and I’m excited to help your organization thrive.

I partner with mission-driven organizations and small businesses to create people-centered HR systems that are ethical, compliant, and inclusive. I’ve seen firsthand that employees don’t quit jobs; they leave workplaces with poor culture. Feeling respected, supported, and like your well-being matters is non-negotiable.

My experience as an employee doing work that mattered yet feeling like a fleeting cameo at organizations where I could have made a greater impact, was my call to action to create WiseHR Solutions Consulting, to teach organizations how to truly value and appreciate their staff. My services, including compliance management, capacity building, and People Operations, help leaders reduce high turnover, strengthen alignment, and build workplaces where both people and purpose thrive.

As Johnny C. Taylor Jr., President and CEO of SHRM, emphasizes, wellness isn’t just a checkbox. It is a retention strategy, a performance driver, and a leadership imperative. That is why I help organizations build cultures where employees feel seen, valued, and empowered so your team can do their best work, and your mission can reach its fullest potential. Taking the first step to be accountable starts with reaching out. Together we can build a lasting partnership that transforms your workplace for the long term.
