Employee Spotlight- Pradnya Mathapati #4

Pradnya Mathapati – HR/Payroll Associate I

Pradnya was born and raised in India. Science and mathematics always fascinated her, which led her to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Science with a focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. However, her curiosity about human behavior and organizational dynamics pushed her toward an MBA in Human Resources. Moving to the U.S. ten years ago was a significant milestone in her life—embracing a new culture, building a career, and creating a home here has been both a challenge and a rewarding experience.

When she’s not working, Pradnya is a full-time mom to two wonderful children, an 8-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter, who keeps her on her toes! Watching them grow, learn new skills, and explore the world is incredibly fulfilling. She loves cooking and experimenting with new recipes, especially for her kids. Pradnya’s and her husband share a passion for traveling— they love exploring new places together and experiencing different cultures and cuisines. In her free time, she also enjoys binge-watching web series as a way to unwind.

Pradnya’s professional journey started in India, where she worked as an HR Executive for four years, gaining hands-on experience in recruitment, employee relations, payroll processing, and compliance. After moving to the U.S., she worked as an Instructional Assistant at a community college, which reinforced her love for working with people. That experience, along with an HR background, made her transition into payroll at FLORES feel like a natural fit.

As an HR/Payroll Associate, she now processes payroll for multiple clients, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and smooth payroll administration. Her career has been a continuous journey of learning and growth, and she enjoys the challenges that come with it. What she loves most about FLORES is its strong emphasis on teamwork and integrity. The company values align perfectly with her own, making it a great place to work. FLORES truly fosters a culture of professionalism while maintaining a close-knit, family-oriented environment. Knowing that her work directly impacts our clients and their employees, gives her a sense of purpose and satisfaction.

Family means everything to Pradnya. She prioritizes creating meaningful experiences with her children, whether it’s through weekend outings, fun activities at home, or simply cherishing the little moments. Balancing work and family can be challenging, but seeing her kids grow and learn every day makes it all worthwhile.

“In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” – Albert Einstein

This quote resonates with Pradnya because every challenge, big or small, brings a chance to learn and grow. She believes that staying open to new experiences, adapting to change, and embracing opportunities leads to both personal and professional growth.

Pradnya finds a sense of accomplishment when she can make a positive impact or see a task through to completion – be it large or small, in work or everyday life. Payroll and HR require a high level of precision, and she takes pride in delivering results that make a difference. In the future, she hopes to continue expanding knowledge in HR technology and compliance while growing within the FLORES family.
