Ep #280 – Foundations of Care: Building a Purpose-Driven Team at TRM
Manage episode 501242757 series 2794090
What inspires someone to devote their career to serving people experiencing homelessness? In this episode of Our Community, Our Mission, we sit down with TRM’s HR Director, Kim Turley, to explore the unique challenges and deep rewards of staffing an organization committed to life-changing ministry. With years of connection to TRM and a passion for helping people, Kim shares what it takes to balance professional HR practices with the deeper calling that draws people to this work.
Joining the conversation, La Manda Cunningham, CEO, and Miriam Krehbiel, Deputy Director of Supportive Services, share powerful stories that highlight both the struggles and the purpose behind TRM’s mission. Staffing shortages, increasingly complex guest needs, and the tension between policy and compassion are very real—but so are the moments of transformation, both for those served and those serving. As one staff member put it, “something is different here—and it’s a good different.”
