I manage the full scope of employee benefits, ensuring they align with our retention goals and support a highly satisfied workforce. I also take a proactive role in union relations, negotiating contracts in a way that balances organizational objectives with the needs of our employees.I am dedicated to employee engagement and retention, leading initiatives such as competitive wage adjustments and professional development programs that contribute to our five-star CMS staffing rating and lower turnover. I ensure regulatory compliance across healthcare standards, workplace safety, and employment laws, mitigating risks and promoting a safe, inclusive environment for all staff. With oversight of a $17.7M payroll budget, I develop compensation strategies that keep our pay structures competitive and our resources effectively allocated to support staff satisfaction.
