COLLEEN NEIDERT, SPHR
HUMAN RESOURCES EXPERT WITH EXTENSIVE STRATEGIC MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE
Toledo, OH • 419-***-**** • *******@***.***
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am a passionate human resources leader and practitioner. I believe an HR department must serve the day-to-day needs of a company’s employees with compassion and respect, as well as provide the strategic programs and services that will help build a company through its people. I’m an advocate for building engagement through best management practices so that employees and the company can thrive. I take a roll-up-my-sleeves approach, as comfortable developing a strategic HR plan as writing a policy and implementing it. I can build an HR program from the ground up or maintain and evolve an existing one. Throughout my professional experience, I have successfully used technology to improve human resource processes and optimize available resources.
