About Jim Johnston

I am a Business Leader delivering exceptional Human Resources expertise and guidance to all levels in the organization. I enjoy working through the challenges of ensuring strong leadership development and organizational design to enable change and workforce effectiveness. Connecting with employees of all levels enables me to have a strong pulse on the overall organization. I enjoy working with senior leaders towards developing overall organizational goals and objectives, and applying my experience with people strategies towards meeting and exceeding them. Unlike many with my background, I strive to truly listen and understand business problems and issues, and then apply appropriate problem solving tools directly and through strong teams towards meeting the organization\'s needs.In the end, I believe the most productive and successful team is one where there is transparency in activity and a direct line of connection aligning each member\'s goals and objectives. I enjoy making that happen.I have experience working in and with multiple industries/functions, including healthcare, high technology, telecommunications, commodity trading, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and retail sales. Most recently, I have joined the nonprofit organization, World Vision which is exposing me to a whole new area of business management.Strengths: Talent Management, Strategic Workforce Planning, Executive Coaching, Training and Development, Organization Design and Development, Compensation Planning and Total Rewards, Cultural Awareness and Change Management, Diversity and Inclusion, Performance Management, and Employee Relations
