Melissa Hohenberger

I am a strategic HR and Total Rewards leader with deep expertise in US benefits, absence management, global governance, recognition, and workforce well‑being. With a strong foundation in population health and more than a decade shaping enterprise programs, I translate complex healthcare, regulatory, and operational requirements into scalable, employee‑centered solutions. I excel at leading cross‑functional teams, modernizing operating models, and partnering with senior executives to strengthen governance, compliance, and service delivery. My approach blends data‑driven decision‑making with a commitment to equity, access, and a positive employee experience. Known for solution‑focused leadership, I bring energy, clarity, and collaboration to every initiative from redesigning benefits strategy to integrating programs during M&A to transitioning services into HR Shared Services. My goal is always the same: build benefits and absence programs that support a healthier, more engaged, and more productive workforce.
