About Shannon McLeod

I am a seasoned HR professional with 20+ years of collaborative leadership and strategic planning experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for facilitating and improving various processes, from on-boarding to recruitment to workforce training and retention, as well as for using data-driven insights to improve operations and contain costs, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include strategic communication, process improvement, employee relations, cost-saving strategy, workforce management, business analysis, problem-solving, and DEI. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am an HR workforce specialist with The Boeing Company. I make strategic recommendations on workforce matters such as resource availability, reduction in force, workflow, hiring, and retention. I also conceptualize innovative cost-containment strategies through workforce development and management. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s people-based support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.
