46 | FACES OF SIOUX FALLS 2022
For thirty years, Alternative HR has served employers not only in the Sioux Falls area but wherever in the United States their clients have had businesses and employees. All of the team members are highly experienced in the profession, bringing over 250 years of combined experience, and most have advanced degrees and/or certifications. While the team consists of many specialized roles, they can all be classified as people experts. “We help employers with the 'peopleside' of their business. Finding people. Keeping people. Leading people. We
know that when people excel—when they are encouraged and engaged and growing - the organization can excel. Likewise, when people are stifled and frustrated, the organization is limited in what it can accomplish. Our role is to help create the environment where both individuals and organizations can flourish,” DeLange said.
