HR Can Help Your Company Stay on Track
Biography: Patty Hargrave

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Management from John Brown University and am a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR). I am a member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Atlanta and National chapters.

My background includes 22 years of experience in the following positions: Administrative Manager in the insurance industry; Supervisor of Deposit Counselor Services in the banking industry and Benefits Administrator and Senior HR Generalist for a manufacturing company. I currently work for Administaff, Inc. in Kennesaw, Georgia as a Human Resource Specialist where I provide customized human resource services to 10 clients and 900 worksite employees through consistent consultation and follow-up.

In my spare time, I like to read and participate in outdoor activities including gardening, water sports and Nascar racing (I drove a car eight laps around Atlanta Motor Speedway with an average speed of 153.42 mph)! I have three grown children (two boys and a girl) and six grandchildren ranging in ages 18 months to 7 years. My grandkids tell me I am not the typical Grammy because I am very active. One of them even took me as the “Show and Tell” for their kindergarten class! Needless to say, I love spending time with my family.
