Trina Hayden, CHRP, CHRL, CRSP
Chief Advisory Officer, NORCAT Advisory - Talent and Human Capital
Trina has managed to carve out niche markets where her background in human resources and safety, has helped drive significant growth as a human capital strategist and safety leader in Canada and globally. She is recognized for her leadership in consulting and dedication to improving human capital planning, skills development, and promoting gender diversity.
Shortly after starting with NORCAT in 2015, she was instrumental in mapping and forecasting future talent pool requirements for over 1000 economically feasible projects over 23 different value chains for a mining and minerals industry. This project was the starting point for Trina’s vision of NORCAT Advisory.
Additional projects were secured, including a notable project centered on talent and human capital operational readiness, leading to the successful underground mining skills training of 400 workers during ramp up.
With her leadership, intrapreneurial spirit, and an innovative vision that others can get behind, Trina founded NORCAT Advisory in 2019, which now includes a diverse team of consultants.
Poised to become the first woman president for the Northeastern Ontario Construction Association in its 75-year history, Trina strives to enhance industry standards. Her commitment to advocacy and action is reflected in her roles as H&S Committee Chair, Women in Construction Committee volunteer, and alternate member of the Construction Legislative Review Committee. Trina’s leadership led to her being awarded the Council of Ontario Construction Associations President’s Award in 2022, recognizing her standout contributions as Co-Chair of the WSIB-OH&S Committee.
In recognition of her commitment to safety and advocacy for women, Trina was named among Canada’s Top Women in Safety in 2022, received OHS Canada’s Community Leader Award (Silver) in 2023, and was honored by Consulting Magazine as a top woman in consulting for her excellence in leadership.
Trina’s roles with HRPA, including Secretary/Treasurer, Regulatory Liaison Chair and Past Chair, highlight her dedication and leadership within the HR community.
