Human Resources Management

I am a seasoned Human Resources professional with over six

years of work experience in various HR Generalist roles. My education

includes a Bachelors degree in Business Administration (3 years full time

degree program) from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in 2003, a

Masters Degree in Personnel Management (2-years full time degree program)

from University of Pune in 2006 and one year Post Bachelors Diploma in

Labour Laws in the year 2005. To supplement my formal education, I have

also pursued distance education in Training and Development in the year

2010. At present, I am a CHRP candidate. All of my international

educational credentials have been verified by ICAS, Canada and found at par

with Canadian Education system.

Over the past six years I have built competencies in recruitment (360

degree full cycle), selection and orientation, labour relations, payroll,

performance management, training and development and designing policies and

procedures for all the levels of management. My international experience

has been evaluated and submitted to HRPA.

My practical experience includes service as a HR Generalist in support

of senior executives in a medium sized manufacturing firm. Specific roles

included recruitment (at both the management and general workforce level),

handling payroll for more than 500 employees, filing licenses and

monitoring relevant labour legislation at the plant level etc. Building

upon this base, I accepted another similar position in the Oil & Gas

Production sector, where I broadened my capabilities through designing an

HR manual, managing a probation and performance appraisal system,

recruiting using social media and job portals, undertaking reference

checks, managing payroll and compensation and assuring legislative

compliance.

In late 2011, I re-located to Sudbury, Ontario for family reasons. I

joined Health Sciences North (formerly known as Sudbury Regional Hospital)

as a Human Resources Advisor on a contract position. At the Hospital, I

was responsible for handling matters related to Compensation and

Recruitment. My duties included research using various sources like Ontario

Hospital Association data, market trends in and around Sudbury for the

purpose of wage determination and benefit allocation for RN's, RPN's,

Orthopedics and other medical staff. I independently drafted management

employment contracts and provided advice to Managers/Medical Directors

regarding salary schedules and benefits allocation at the time of

recruitment and appraisals.

After completing my contract role at the hospital, I joined the City

of Greater Sudbury as a Human Resources Analyst - Labour Relations. My

major job responsibilities included

. Administration of Collective Bargaining Agreements for four

Unions - CUPE- 4705, CUPE - 148, ONA, and Sudbury Professional

Fire Fighters' Association. Specific duties included monitoring

and communicating changes in policies, procedures and processes

to the Union and Departmental Heads.

. Conducted extensive research on projects like General Wage

Increase, market trends in Ontario and other North Eastern

Municipalities.

. Assessed Grievances and suggested possible solutions to

Management on the basis of case law research.

. Drafted Employer Proposals and Sign-offs during Negotiations.

. Actively participated in the Negotiations process for CUPE - 148

and CUPE - 4705, acting as regular liaison with Legal counsel,

Union representatives and Union executive members regarding

Arbitrations, Mediation, Negotiations and other day to day

activities etc.

In January 2014, I moved to Toronto in support of my spouse's career

advancement.

In summary I offer a broad range of HR related skills and experiences

applied in three sectors and with employees in both unionized and non-

unionized settings.

I am a life long learner constantly upgrading my knowledge (recent

training in WHMIS, for example) and technical skills (PeopleSoft (SAP), MS

Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), Meditech, Tally, Outlook Express and

Novell Groupwise).

I have enclosed my resume for your consideration. I would welcome a

discussion about what I offer.

Sincerely,

Nidhi Chadha
