Parveen Sandhi

Parveen is a Sr. Global HR Manager at Avison Young – the fastest growing commercial real estate firm globally. In her 10 years of working within HR, Parveen has become an expert HR strategist having honed her skills in change management, talent strategy, people management, engagement and organizational metrics and trends analysis. 
Parveen has a passion for innovation and leading executives to think outside the box. She believes that encouraging diversity of thought is one way to stimulate innovative ideas and creative solutions and does so through using metaphoric examples in problem solving.  She believes that one of the keys to problem-solving is to relate to the issue – using metaphors allows people to relate to topics in their own unique ways and spurs creative solutions.
