Our Team

Acacia HR was founded by Jo Owens, a proven HR professional with over a decade of experience in employee relations, compliance, and leadership development. Jo is an active member of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the Sarasota-Manatee Human Resource Association (SHRA), demonstrating her commitment to industry best practices and professional excellence.

Her passion for people-centered solutions and proactive problem-solving led to the creation of Acacia HR—a firm dedicated to helping small and midsize businesses navigate workplace challenges with confidence and care.

While we may be a small team, our impact is big—focused, responsive, and always tailored to the unique needs of each client. As Acacia HR grows, we remain committed to partnering with professionals who share our values of integrity, empathy, and results-driven service.
