The Story Behind Prioritize People

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Jane Takushi, and I founded Prioritize People on a proven principle: organizations that invest in their talent achieve superior business outcomes. When employees and teams have what they need to perform at their best, the company's performance reflects it.

With over 20 years of experience in HR leadership and consulting, I've helped organizations transform their people practices through:

  • Performance Management

  • Leadership & Talent Development

  • Designing and facilitating leadership offsites

  • Succession Planning

  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)

  • People-Centered Mergers & Acquisitions

  • Employee Engagement & Listening Strategies

  • HR Technology Implementation (Workday, SuccessFactors)

I've led enterprise-wide initiatives across technology, travel, healthcare, consumer goods, manufacturing, and nonprofit sectors for global clients.

What's happening with the people side of your business? I'd love to hear about what's working, what's challenging you, and what opportunities you're eager to pursue. Let's connect!
