Maya Torres

Maya Torres has led HR for three companies as they grew from under 50 employees to over 400, and has personally sat through more one-on-ones, performance cycles, and layoffs than she can count. She's SHRM-certified and spent two years consulting for startups building their first people-ops function from scratch. At Workfloor, she focuses on management practices, performance reviews, and the unglamorous systems — feedback loops, career ladders, meeting cadences — that determine whether a team is actually a good place to work. She still keeps a shared 1:1 template she's refined for a decade, and updates it every time a manager tells her it didn't quite work.
