About Christian J C.

As a people and process-focused human resources executive, I have been at the forefront of driving innovative talent management and business practices that have shaped high-performing operations across large, multisite restaurant, healthcare, and environmental-services organizations. PROBLEMS I FIXWith a history of stepping into organizations that lack HR structure, I have built a department from the ground up and cast a lifeline to a department in total disarray, elevating HR to a place of distinction and influence across all areas of business operations. Some of my key initiatives have included succession planning processes, manager “talent calls,” 360 surveys, free tuition and emergency relief funds for employees, and targeted training. The numbers speak for themselves:IMPACT► Up to 65% increase in new-hire retention and 45% reduction in turnover.► Decrease in time-to-fill rate of more than 58%.► Employee satisfaction ratings 23% higher.► Dramatic increase in employee promotions – as many as 115 over two years.► 80% reduction in hiring misses► Millions of dollars in cost savings brought about by automation and new HR policies and procedures.ADDED VALUEManaging change and rapid growth comes easy to me. Working closely with the executive team, I helped facilitate a multibrand restaurant group’s acquisition of 56 locations and 2,000 employees, national expansion of Americare through 3 acquisitions, and growth of EMSI to 200+ locations following two acquisitions. I’ve also performed an integral role in maintaining a union-free work environment in the midst of current national trends to unionize restaurant and retail establishments, and early in my career, I facilitated the start-up of a nonunion distribution division for Michaels Stores. RECOGNITION► “Top HR Executive in Michigan” nomination► “Top Workplaces” recognition for current company 5 consecutive years (2018 and Running)► "Top Workplaces USA" recognition for current company 2 consecutive years (2022 and Running)► “Three CEO Awards for Outstanding Performance” at EMSI ► “Exemplary Award for Outstanding Performance” at Safety-KleenAlways eager to engage with like-minded professionals, I invite you to connect with me here.
