20+ years of HR leadership
Executive-level experience leading people strategy through growth, transformation, acquisitions, organizational change, and complex workforce environments.
Meet Maya P. Hayes
The right HR solution starts with understanding the business problem.
Maya P. Hayes is the founder of PXP HR, a Fractional CHRO and people strategy advisor who helps business leaders at companies with 50–200 employees identify and address the people and HR issues affecting performance, consistency, risk, and growth.
Growing companies often address hiring, turnover, performance, compliance, and manager issues one at a time. Maya’s experience has shown that these challenges are often connected, and may signal that the company has outgrown its current people practices or HR capabilities.
Throughout her career, Maya has partnered with executives and leadership teams to solve complex people challenges across organizational design, talent strategy, leadership development, workforce planning, performance, culture, acquisitions, and HR transformation.
Her experience spans manufacturing, field services, building products distribution, and quick service restaurants, with deep experience leading distributed, frontline, and field-based teams.
Prior executive HR experience
Experience shaped through growth, expansion, and change.
Before founding PXP HR, Maya held senior executive HR roles. The accomplishments below are from that prior career experience, not PXP client results.
- 01Leading through growth and acquisition
Maya has led HR through more than 75 acquisitions and integrations, as well as new-location launches, across her executive career.
- 02Improving retention and hiring velocity
In a prior HR leadership role, Maya reduced turnover from 12% to 2.3% while cutting time-to-hire by 50%.
- 03Making onboarding more efficient
As a fractional Chief People Officer, Maya led a workforce automation project that reduced onboarding time per hire from six hours to 1.5 hours.
Maya’s point of view
“Not every people problem requires a new program, and not every growing company needs a full-time CHRO. The first step is understanding what is breaking down, why it matters to the business, and what level of support will solve it.”
Maya works alongside business leaders to understand where the company is going, determine which people and HR issues require attention, and build practical solutions that support the organization’s current priorities and future needs.
Business-first approach
Every recommendation begins with the company’s goals, priorities, and challenges, not an HR checklist.
Built for distributed teams
Deep experience with frontline, field-based, and multi-location workforces, where people decisions directly affect staffing, retention, and service.
