first hand that a truly cohesive team is almost limitless in what they can

accomplish.

of what we want it to be, guiding management to be proactive as

to company structure and procedures. Worked closely with the

Executive Management Team. A vision was adopted to affect change,

ability to do site specific advertising and screening obtaining a

better fit for new hires.

boarding and retention, outplacement. Under my own initiative,

redesigned and implemented an entirely new screening process improving

culture and higher commitment levels.

initiative completely redesigned and implemented new training programs

resulting in shorter training duration while better preparing staff.

an emphasis on employee development first, progressing to more severe
