My Story
​
I am Dr. Natalia Volkonsky, and I am the founder of Volare Consulting.
I have always known that jobs mean so much more to people than just a paycheck—they are places of self-actualization. Everyone wants to discover and utilize their talents, contribute meaningfully, and be recognized and appreciated for their work.
When I began my career in HR, I was surprised by how many leaders struggled to grasp these fundamental truths. Managers and executives often overlooked the importance of employee fulfillment, focusing only on business outcomes. This realization sparked my passion to bridge the gap between employees and leadership.
I began conducting workplace surveys and one-on-one interviews to gain a deeper understanding of what employees truly needed. The results were eye-opening - leaders' assumptions were often completely off-base. When we took employee feedback seriously and implemented changes, workplace culture, engagement, and retention improved dramatically. That is when I knew this was what I wanted to do for life.
Throughout my career, I have supported small businesses, mid-sized companies, and global corporations, including Meta, Activision-Blizzard, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Cox Communications. I have also worked as a vocational rehabilitation counselor, helping individuals with permanent disabilities find meaningful employment.
​
That journey led me to launch Volare Consulting—a space where I could bring research, strategy, and heart together in one mission: helping companies retain their best people.
Recently, I fulfilled a long-time dream by conducting original research for my PhD dissertation, studying the impact of different types of onboarding experiences (Metaverse, Virtual, and In-Person) on employees’ sense of belonging. This research reinforced my belief that everyone can thrive if the right environment is provided.
