Ask anyone at Field Nation: Ivy Dang does it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a People Operations Business Partner, there are few parts of the company\u2019s internal structure that she doesn\u2019t touch in one way or another. While her primary areas of focus are team member benefits, compensation, compliance, and people data, you\u2019re also likely to find her working on internal communications, onboarding, and other collaborations with the finance and accounting teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat else?\u201d she wonders out loud. \u201cI get to contribute in a lot of different places here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true. In the three-and-a-half years Ivy has been with Field Nation, her natural curiosity and interest in cross-functional problem solving have led her to a more wide-reaching role in the organization. For her, this ability to explore and grow is a key perk of the Field Nation experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn larger organizations, work is very siloed. You have your specific area and you stay there. But at Field Nation, I can easily go present to leadership, or talk to sales or marketing about an opportunity, and there aren\u2019t the same barriers. That contributes to my career development because I\u2019m not locked into the four or five bullet points on my job description.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This focus on career development is central to how Ivy initially connected with Field Nation during her senior year at the University of Minnesota\u2019s Carlson School of Management. After attending a Twin Cities Society for Human Resources Management conference, Ivy got in touch with Teri Calderon, Field Nation\u2019s EVP of People and Marketplace Operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring her keynote speech, Teri said, \u2018If you are here on a Saturday morning looking to talk about HR and people topics, you are probably a good fit for our internship program.\u2019 She had a point, so I applied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After a nine-month internship, Field Nation offered her a full-time position.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI took two days off to graduate and then I was back at it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily for the University of Minnesota, Ivy is able to help current students majoring in HR and business topics. Every spring, Ivy is invited as a guest lecturer and makes herself available to answer questions from future people operations professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really rewarding watching their eyes light up when I show how your passions can really line up with the work that you do every day. It doesn’t have to be just writing policies and telling people no and dealing with employer relation issues. It’s cool for me to be able to tell them, \u2018There are so many cool options out there.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When she\u2019s off the clock, Ivy enjoys cycling and watching Real Housewives alongside her dog Bella, who has \u201cthe personality of a diva.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She applies her curious and generous spirit to her social life, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my calendar’s always filled with things, but that brings me a lot of joy. My family is all nearby, so I like helping out where I can. We spend a lot of time together. That might sound crazy to a lot of people, but it\u2019s fun for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
