Throughout my nearly-five year career in human resources I have served in a

management capacity; most recently, as a Human Resources Supervisor, the sole Human

Resources agent, at the Waynesburg, Pennsylvania plant of Kyowa America Corporation, and

initially as a Human Resources Manager for Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse. Here is a

quick “snap-shot” of my experience in the Human Resources field:

• Experienced in Administering Worker’s Compensation and ensured OSHA

compliance; coordinated safety meetings and incentive programs; conducts monthly

compliance inspections.

• Redesigned and refined Worker’s Compensation reporting and claims follow-up

process. Communicated regularly with management as to the status of the WC claims

and of the figures contained in the several “loss-run” reports.

• Attended and testified at Worker’s Compensation hearings.

• Experienced in requesting, generating and/or developing, and distributing reports

to management and/or employees pertaining to, but not limited to, the human resources

function.

• Experienced in all facets of the FMLA process; from approval/denial of leave, to

exhaustion of leave.

• Experienced in assisting management in its administration of progressive

discipline and/or in the exercise of conflict resolution between employees.

• Experienced in conducting investigations of alleged employee misconduct and

any other issue which management may require to be investigated.

• Experienced in provided guidance to employees and upper level personnel

including, but not limited to, employee matters, company policy and procedure, and

benefits.

• Experience providing extensive and effective new employee orientation/training,

guaranteeing the new-hire’s familiarity with standard procedures.

• Experienced in the recording, processing, and filing of employee/employment

status changes in a timely manner.

• Experienced in preparing and processing bi-weekly payroll and year-end bonuses

for 100 to 150 associates.

• Experienced in facilitating year-end feedback/bonus meetings, 90-day benefit

enrollment meetings, and 401K enrollment meetings/informational sessions.

• Experienced in preparing and facilitating meetings between management and

small or large groups of employees at which training goals were discussed and training

implementation time tables were communicated.

• Experienced in managing the schedules, workload, and progress of human

resources coordinators, staffing coordinators, and administrative assistants.

• Experienced in maintaining a human resources presence on the production floor

and preserving a human resources office which was accessible to employees and

managers.

• Experienced in conducting monthly formal focus group and safety meetings.

• Experienced in responding to employee feedback in an expedient manner and in

reporting those employee concerns, in an organized fashion, to management.

• Experienced in assisting management in identifying employee

strength/weaknesses and developing training plans/timetables to increase employee work

efficiency and performance.

• Experienced in, on an annual basis, objectively identifying and discussing with a

direct report their work related qualities and/or opportunities for improvement.

• Experienced in the advising of, and teaming with, management on issues of safety

and/or quality pertaining to the applicable standards.

• Experienced in all facets of the HR process from on-boarding to tenure to

termination of employment.

I believe that, to be competitive in the HR field, one must commit himself to continuing

his education. Thus, I have earned a Masters Degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from

Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Slippery Rock

University, and am a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR.)

I strive to be an analytical thinker with strategic planning skills, capable of developing

innovative approaches to problem solving and objective achievement. I’m a motivating leader

with teamwork attributes acquired through work experience, community involvement, and civic

organization membership and an effective communicator with strong presentation skills and

ability to establish rapport with individuals at all levels.

My enclosed resume provides further details of my accomplishments and skills. Thank

you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
