I was tasked with creating order out of chaos after years of poor HR practices. I completed a payroll company migration that was started by a predecessor, which required analyzing and rethinking some decisions already made in order to provide a better solution. I automated much of the onboarding process, implemented employee surveys, reduced turnover, implemented a shift scheduling program, negotiated a better benefits program, increasing enrollment.
