1. Human Resources Director

   Walters Buildings

   Mar 2019 — Present

   I am responsible for all aspects of Human Resources: payroll, benefits, compliance, safety, engagement, training, compensation, succession planning, worker\'s compensation, HRIS management and recruiting. During my tenure, I successfully learned the role and trained a human resources generalist. Together, we execute a biweekly payroll, yearly open enrollment, weekly check-ins with employees to gauge engagement, design compensation and benefit plans, comply with federal, state and local labor laws in 5 different states, update our employee handbook and work with our broker to manage a self-funded healthcare plan. On top of that, I negotiated a 10% reduction in HRIS costs while implementing a new coaching module to track performance. Even though I have a lot of experience in the above, my passion is recruiting, training and developing talent. I stress the importance of having a talent pipeline, bench and low turnover. Working with our controller, we recruited two director level positions. While not as notable, our human resources generalist and I recruited employees up and down the organization chart, including multiple foremen, salesmen and countless laborers. As far as training, I worked with our Safety Director to roll out a new environmental health and safety program, satisfying OSHA requirements and making our employees safer and more well-trained. While our talent pipeline conversations are still in infancy and do require a culture change, we are also having these conversations on a daily basis. I also have experience managing workers compensation cases as well as negotiating workers compensation packages with our broker. While this is mainly the work of the Safety Director, we have decreased worker’s compensation claim costs by over 90% in 20••••20 brought new challenges to everyone, including our department. We implemented, communicated and enforced a COVID-19 safety amendment to our employee handbook.
