My Story

Hey! I'm Lauren Brockett, founder of Always Employed, LLC. I was born in London, England. Emigrating to the United States in 1996, I grew up in Georgia and currently live in Conyers. Driven to alleviate global poverty, I have helped hundreds of companies grow to scale and fill key roles, while helping under-resourced communities and innovative businesses gain access to capital. I have personally worked with over 6,000 job seekers, especially survivors from war-torn countries and immigrants who have experienced trauma, with career planning, resume writing and job application assistance. I have also led human resources (HR), operations, culture, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB), and financial wellness initiatives for various industries including hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, global NGOs and various other private and public institutions. I am a West Indian immigrant from the United Kingdom and grew up in Northeast Atlanta. I studied Strategic Human Resources at Cornell University, Int'l Economics and Sociology at Emory University and hold a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) Certification.
