Convergence HRM partners with BLR to drive sustainable growth
Empowering organizations with HR expertise and compliance solutions
Background
Darryl Treadwell, a military veteran with a rich background in planning, operations, and organizational development, embarked on a new chapter in his career after 21 years of dedicated service. In February 2020, he founded Convergence HRM, a human resources management (HRM) company focused on enabling small and midsize businesses to achieve organizational goals through workforce optimization. Having previously worked for Pacific Bell for over 8 years and having held several leadership positions, Darryl decided to leverage his experience and qualifications to establish a business focused on training and development, organizational structure, and performance management.
Darryl’s remarkable journey is built on a strong foundation of knowledge and certifications. His educational qualifications include a Master of Science in Human Resources and Organizational Development and a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and Learning. Additionally, Darryl holds prestigious certifications like Project Management Professional (PMP), Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP), Maxwell DISC Certified Behavior Analyst Trainer, and The Predictive Index Talent Optimization Consultant.
With his extensive experience and impressive credentials, Darryl is well equipped to address the critical needs of his clients. His deep understanding of leadership development, workforce performance evaluation, and organizational analysis enables him to provide tailored solutions that drive sustainable growth and success. By partnering with BLR, Darryl discovered the essential platforms and resources that would empower him to make a lasting impact on his clients’ organizations.
Needs/Challenges
In the highly regulated HRM industry, ensuring compliance and providing accurate, up-to-date information are critical for success. Darryl understood the difficulty of keeping up with ever-changing regulations. He realized compliance failures and outdated information could result in legal repercussions and hinder his clients’ organizational professional standing. Darryl recognized the pressing need for a compliance partner that could offer expertise, resources, and a robust platform to address his unique challenges.
Vetting process
When considering his options for partnership, Darryl was very thorough in his research. He hardly ever takes things at face value and seeks nonbiased insights, continuing to dive deeper to get past the fluff, marketing efforts, and personal opinions. Other factors that played into Darryl’s decision-making process were his particular business model, value and price point, and not having to pay for additional bundled features.
In addition to BLR, some of his contenders included:
- Zywave
- Bamboo HR
- ADP
After he concluded his search, Darryl confidently decided on BLR because it:
- Provided a platform that would directly help him deliver the services his clients wanted
- Ensured legal accuracy and compliance
- Had a small company feel—it didn’t feel like just another client
- Offered training solutions in addition to HR
- Had quick communication turnaround and human responses
“It’s a very positive experience. My account manager takes the time to listen to things that concern me, and the tools are very relevant to the services that I provide to my target clients.”
