In my current position as Lifeline Homecare's Human Resources Director I am in charge of handling all employment matters for our employees. This involves everything from recruitment to end of employment activities with everything in between. Two major areas of focus are recruiting and then reducing turnover and expenditures related to hiring/training new employees. In the aspect of reducing turnover, a major way I have accomplished this has been the development of a recognition and rewards program that has been helpful in ensuring our employees feel appreciated and valued while aiding them in reaching their full potential as a caregiver. The result of these changes along with others has been close to a 50% reduction in turnover over the previous 12 month span..A second challenge brought on by being spread across the state has been employee safety. With servicing nearly 70 counties, there is the challenge of having employees driving between clients and performing services in client's homes. Sometimes these are performed in unfamiliar conditions sometimes resulting in accidents/injury. This has lead me to compile a large cache of resources allowing me to help our employees remain as safe as possible both on the road and in client's homes. With the focus on employee safety, we have been able to reduce the number of recordable accidents by nearly 45%. As the HR Director and sole HR representative for the company, I am also in charge of handling all benefits, performing pre-employment background screening, training requirements, OIG compliance, unemployment inquiries and any other HR related function necessary to maintain 250 employees statewide.

As a Human Resource Specialist I took care of the employment needs of over 400 employees on a daily basis. I was responsible for selecting candidates for interview as well as conducting many of the interviews for both hourly and salaried positions. While with BRUSS we saw a 50% reduction in turnover and an overall more content workforce.Another crucial areas of expertise with BRUSS was being in charge of the training program. I designed the daily training procedures and scheduling, as well as tracking all training plant wide. This lead to having a competent workforce and also benefited the plant in the area of safety. While being over all Workmen's Comp. claims and heavily involved in the plant safety program I saw over 50% reduction of workplace injuries within the first full year of my employment. I am also proud to say this resulted in over $60,000 of direct savings in the form of Workmen's Comp. premiums. In addition to being in charge of all training plant wide, I was also given the responsibility to ensure BRUSS remained compliant with all TS 16949 and ISO 9001 requirements which were human resources related. These process controls and environmental regulations ensured the plant operated with superior quality, safety, and with minimal impact on the environment. In the first audit where i was responsible entirely for the HR audit procedures, BRUSS completed both audits with no HR related findings. In addition to these primary duties I also developed a great relationship and dealt extensively with temporary staffing agencies to ensure a steady supply of quality employees when unexpected losses were incurred, or for short term assignments. I additionally handled all payroll for over 400 employees using ADP software which included checking to ensure all employees were paid the correct wage, hours worked, and any overrides or status changes for that particular payroll were completed accurately. .
