PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Personable Human Resources Generalist who promotes a team-oriented and open-door environment that is conducive to a successful staff. An expert communicator with strong conflict resolution skills. Highly proficient in the use of all Microsoft Office applications for presentation and project management.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
As a Team member of corporate services with Leaps and Bounds Partners, I have succeeded in ensuring compliance with statutory payroll deductions (Pension & PAYE) and onward remittance to appropriate authorities. I also initiated a cost saving measure for our diesel consumption and mode of payment.
As an HR generalist with Winsome Kleen, my major achievement was improving the overall literacy level of janitors used in delivering our core business operations by enforcing minimums standards of educational requirements and moving 60% of our recruitment process online. Also improved overall efficiency levels of the HR unit by introducing the use of a free cloud based HR software.
While at Union Bank, saved my branch N25Million in penalty fees by discovering wrong and double postings on our branch PAYDIRECT Till account. Reconciliation was done by reviewing >1000 transactions and effecting necessary corrections with HQ approval. Also ensured strict adherence to FIRS guidelines and the branch consequently received commendation as ‘one of the cleanest branches’ by FIRS auditors in 2013.
At Intern academy, I initiated the collation of all relevant data and created a centralized database using Microsoft Excel which was then regularly updated as needed. This resulted to ease of access to relevant client information and thus a correspondent increase in intern placements (about 50%).
