About Kristin Hamm

Experienced Human Resources Manager with a proven track record supporting complex, people-driven organizations across public sector, healthcare, manufacturing, and multi-site operations. I bring a calm, practical approach to HR leadership, balancing compliance, employee advocacy, and organizational needs.Currently serving as HR Manager for the Lancaster County Department of Public Safety, I partner closely with leadership to navigate employee relations, performance management, investigations, and workforce planning within a highly regulated environment. I am trusted to handle sensitive matters with discretion, fairness, and consistency while ensuring alignment with county policy and state and federal employment law.Throughout my career, I’ve led full-cycle recruiting, onboarding, benefits administration, FMLA and workers’ compensation, policy development, and employee engagement initiatives. I’m particularly strong in employee relations, building trust, and guiding leaders through challenging conversations and decisions.Earlier in my career, I held senior leadership roles in operations and business development, managing large, diverse teams and fast-paced environments. That experience gives me a strong business lens and the ability to translate HR strategy into real-world execution.I’m known as a steady, approachable HR leader—someone leaders rely on and employees feel comfortable coming to. I thrive in roles where professionalism, empathy, and accountability matter.Core strengths:HR Leadership • Employee Relations • Public Sector HR • Compliance • Performance Management • Recruitment & Retention • Investigations • Benefits & Leave Administration • Policy Development
