The new division will be headed by Miriam Dushane, a nationally recognized industry leader, who has been hired as vice president of HR consulting.
According to the company, Pioneer’s HR consulting division was created 'in response to a growing need in the marketplace,' to provide HR expertise and services to small- and mid-sized companies. The new division offers on-site HR services, project-based HR work, and leave management services, serving both new and existing clients. HR consulting joins insurance, employee benefits, and wealth management as business lines beyond financial services offered by Pioneer to support its clients.
'In establishing an HR consulting division, Pioneer is deepening its commitment to supporting small- and medium-sized companies that are the backbone of our community,' said Thomas Amell, president and CEO of Pioneer. 'Providing valuable HR expertise and services addresses the critical needs of businesses, enhances existing client relationships and builds new ones, and marks a pivotal step toward fulfilling our strategy of being ‘more than a bank.'"
