Selected highlights from both companies and various positions held:

In conjunction with operations, developed a staffing forecast tool based on key operations data that allowed for ample lead time to recruit appropriate levels of staffing.

Responsible for leading and developing the company’s cooperative education training program and fostering relationships with various universities. This program laid the foundation to what is now our formal leadership development program.

Extensive employee relations experience from consistent enforcement of minor infractions resulting in coaching up to and including incidents that warranted termination. Additionally I handled employee investigations of various matters including the determination of the investigation and any correlating action.

Kept detailed documentation of any issues or concerns for personnel files; this provided the company enough information for our legal counsel to have all matters in which I handled be dismissed including two that were rose to mediation in Harrisburg.

Traveled throughout the company’s network of facilities in the New England area, down through Maryland and out to Ohio to be onsite for general employee engagement events to represent the Human Resources department to build trust amongst the employees and act as a steward of our company culture.
