Greg completes the package of who you are looking for in your executive team and I recommend him with high regard." and "Human Resources is the partner that is required for Workforce Management to be successful. It it the receiver to the quarterback, the pitcher to the catcher, or the pit crew to the driver. You have to be in sync, and on point. You can not succeed with out them. Ideally, your HR Partner has to be a strategic thinker, a visionary process innovator, and someone who understands a Workforce Planner. If you are in a good place you get one of the above, if you are lucky you get two, when I worked with Gregory I hit the Jack Pot. Gregory was not only wise counsel, but often mediator, and the guy willing to get in the daily mix if needed, to understand the issues we were trying to resolve. With his support we were able to relaunch process for WFM to 2,100 Seats covering over a dozen sites in as many states, with no compliance issues. Greg was key in helping us focus process for shift bidding, vacation planning, performance reporting, load balancing, time off management, and so much more. Greg kept us efficient, and humane. I’ll always be a little better at what I do for the support he gave."
