About

Laura Teichen
Founder & Consultant

As a dedicated stay-at-home mom, I founded Teichen HRIS Consulting in August 2025 in order to continue my passion for HR while spending time with my family.

 

With an educational background in HR coupled with over a decade of experience specializing in Human Resources Operations and Technology efforts, I specialize in optimizing HR processes and leveraging technology to ensure scalability and efficiency gains. ​My passion is continuous improvement and finding creative yet practical solutions to complex problems. I am accustomed to fast paced environments and working with global audiences. ​

​

Teichen HRIS Consulting is more than a business — it’s a chance to build something meaningful and impactful while maintaining flexibility to care for my son and give him the best life. I’m ready to collaborate, innovate, and help organizations thrive. If my services and skillset interest you, let's connect!

​

Availability and pricing is subject to the scope of the engagement. In general, I am available up to 20 hours/week and operate fully remote (in Texas).
