The Heart of Our Success: How Our HR Team Fuels Growth & Culture

May 19, 2025

At Anovo, we know that our success starts with our people. Behind every dedicated team member, every seamless patient experience, and every high-touch service we provide, there is a team working tirelessly to ensure we attract, support, and retain the best talent.

Building a Team That Puts Patients First

Led by Sharon Devine Harris, PHR, SHRM-CP – Vice President of Human Resources, Aubrey Haley – Director of Human Resources, and LaShawn Bedford – HR Generalist our HR team works hand-in-hand with our executive leadership and all departments of our company to ensure we are well-positioned to provide a seamless and consistent patient and customer experience. Their mission is clear: hire top-tier talent that aligns with our culture, our values, and our commitment to exceptional patient support.

Our HR team is proactive in its approach, ensuring that every new hire not only has the skills needed to succeed but also embodies our shared dedication to putting patients first. They play a key role in:

• Identifying and recruiting professionals who align with our high standards of customer service and patient care.
• Ensuring that our growing workforce remains connected, engaged, and dedicated to our mission.
• Creating programs that reinforce our culture, even as we expand our in-office and remote teams.
• Cultivating an environment where team members continuously feel recognized, valued, and understand how they are each doing something meaningful and impactful every day.

Protecting & Strengthening Our Culture

As we grow, maintaining our unique culture remains a top priority. The HR team leads initiatives that foster collaboration, inclusion, and engagement, ensuring that employees—whether working remotely or in-office—stay connected and aligned with our mission.

“There are few positions within an organization that allow for direct, one-on-one interaction with every level of employee from the C-suite leaders to the behind-the-scenes heroes keeping the boat rowing forward.  Most people don’t see the hard days of working within Human Resources, and trust me, we have plenty of those, but it is exceptionally rewarding being able to build meaningful relationships across the organization with individuals from all walks of life, while also spearheading initiatives that ensure we foster a work environment of positivity, fun, and one that genuinely cares about employee satisfaction.”

– Aubrey Haley, Director of Human Resources

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. For seven consecutive years, we have been recognized as a Top Workplace by the Memphis-based Commercial Appeal – in partnership with Energage surveying platform – a testament to the strength of our culture and the HR team’s unwavering commitment to our people.

Defining Our Future Through People

With growth comes the challenge of maintaining momentum while staying true to our mission. Our HR team is at the forefront of this effort, helping us shape a future that remains rooted in our dedication to rare disease patient support and therapy access.

Their impact extends beyond hiring—they are instrumental in:

• Developing initiatives that ensure our teams feel valued, supported, and empowered.
• Continuously improving our employee experience, making sure every team member has the tools and resources needed to succeed.
• Working with Anovo’s training and development team to ensure all employees have a thorough onboarding and tailored growth programs. 

“It is rewarding knowing that every talent decision directly impacts the quality of care our patients receive. It is incredibly fulfilling to build a culture where every employee feels valued, supported and empowered to do their best work.”

– Sharon Devine Harris, PHR, SHRM-CP – Vice President of Human Resources
