Some people are born organizers. Tammy Fudge is one of those people – and she has a storied career spanning multiple states and supporting businesses of all sizes to prove it.
“I’ve had many jobs over the years and I’ve always done well in my positions,” says Tammy.
“I’ve received awards, recognition, promotions, bonuses and more. I believe I’ve done well because of my strong work ethic – it’s that rather than any particular accomplishment that I’m most proud of.”
Tammy’s primary role at PrideGroupCo is that of Human Resources Manager – for our company and for many of our clients. It’s a critical role when you’re in the people business like we are.
Tammy’s background with companies of various sizes and doing business in multiple states gives her a keen understanding of HR needs for most companies. When we have a client with HR, payroll, sales tax, employee relations, benefits or insurance needs (to name a few), Tammy is our go-to person.
She also provides bookkeeping support to several clients, particularly those in the construction industry.
As if that’s not enough, Tammy is also co-owner of Integrus Electric, Ltd. – a commercial electrical contracting company here in the DFW area. And naturally, she handles all the HR and bookkeeping for them as well.
If it seems that Tammy has more specializations than most, it’s because of the advice she received early in her career to “invest in herself”, which is something she’s taken firmly to heart. She loves the way it plays out at work and in life more generally.
“I really enjoy my life and what I do,” says Tammy. “I love the people I work with, and I love that I have the ability to help business owners succeed.”
As a lover of policies, procedures and processes, Tammy keeps things running amazingly smoothly for us and our clients. If something can be simplified, improved or made better, she makes sure it happens.
“It’s the little things,” she says. “I try to make the world a better place. But doing that can take many forms. Maybe it’s helping others in a time of need, or maybe it’s picking up trash on my walks.”
When Tammy’s not lending her amazing skills to the PrideGroupCo family, she can be found outdoors or in the garden – or even cleaning.
“Yes, I said cleaning!” she says with a laugh.
She also enjoys walking and spending her valuable downtime with her family. A life-long planner, she’s always on her A-game when it comes to special family events and traditions, and her response to her favorite family tradition is instantaneous:
“Family birthday dinners and Christmas Day movies!”
