As a People & Culture Business Partner, I supported 300+ employees across Manufacturing Operations, Accounting, and Quality/Regulatory Compliance in the U.S. and Canada. I partnered with senior leadership to drive HR strategy, strengthen engagement, and enhance performance management.I designed and launched an interactive new hire orientation focused on safety, quality, and policy—later adopted nationally—which helped the site earn the company’s 2021 Quality Counts award. I led performance and merit processes, collaborated on talent and succession planning, and partnered with operations to deliver key HR initiatives.I led projects to boost employee engagement and retention, and to develop mid-level leaders. I also updated the U.S. Employee Handbook and revamped time-off policies to stay competitive with market trends.A trusted advisor to leadership, I coached on documentation, accountability, and employee relations best practices while managing onboarding, compliance, and investigations with fairness and consistency.
