I have worked in the HR field for over 18 years and it is my passion. I have been told I approach situations with fairness, kindness, & that I am proactive. I consider myself to be solution focused & results oriented.As far as recruiting & why I rarely have to hire, I believe we need to shift our mindset with how we look at applicants, feel free to ask me about this. The same goes for retention, I find we need to change our thinking as HR Managers. I also believe that a HR presence in the plant and/or shop floor is highly important and very beneficial. My goal is to be an asset to the organization I work for and perform in a professional manner while achieving goals as set forth by the company.
