My name is Wendy Bent, and I founded Bent Consulting Services, LLC in 2023 to support smaller organizations and local government entities with their Human Resource needs. My career in Human Resources began in 2001 as a Human Resource Coordinator for an insurance brokerage firm in Birmingham, Alabama. I later expanded my expertise by working as a Human Resources Manager for the State of South Dakota. For the past twelve years, I have served as the Human Resources Director for a local government entity, witnessing firsthand the challenges smaller entities face in managing HR effectively. Recognizing the significant risks even minor administrative errors can pose, I am committed to bringing my knowledge and passion for Human Resources to smaller communities in North Dakota, helping them confidently navigate HR complexities.
