1. Regional Human Resources Generalist

   As an HR Generalist, I recruit new talent in alignment with targeted staffing plans and handle employee investigations, applying corrective actions as needed. Highlights of accomplishments in this role include:• Collaborate with Operations Leadership on critical issues and create resolution plans to align with organizational standards.• Lead and facilitate professional development training sessions and new hire orientation for HR management and personnel.• Process unemployment claims and attend hearings while addressing HR/Benefits related employee inquiries.• Reoriented training personnel and management on company systems, increasing their skills and allowing the organization to hire more qualified staff from within, contributing to a reduction in turnover.• Implemented enhanced interviewing techniques, leading to a decrease outside agency contracting, lowering external talent acquisition levels from 90% to 50% and lowering recruitment fee spend.
