WORK HISTORY
Human Resources Generalist @GE Appliances, a Haier company
Louisville, KY, US
I serve as the HR Generalist supporting 2nd and 3rd shift operations across three manufacturing plants (AP1, AP4, and AP5), I provide independent HR leadership to a workforce of more than 1,600 hourly employees and 30 salaried frontline leaders owning investigations, employee relations, policy interpretation, and workforce planning with limited oversight. I partner with operations, security and union leadership to resolve employee concerns, address attendance and performance issues, and maintain contract compliance. I coach leaders through corrective action, development planning, and conflict resolution while ensuring fair, consistent application of policies and practices. My work bridges communication between off-shift and day operations, ensuring seamless case transitions and continuity on critical people issues. Additionally, I integrated AI-driven automation into investigation tracking and reporting, reducing manual documentation time by 30%, improving data accuracy, and enabling faster case closure and leadership visibility.
