As the leader of the human resources function, our focus is on creating a great place to work. Part of that is having a robust safety program. With the efforts that we put in place in the last nine months, we have decreased our Worker’s Comp. claims by 99%. I have rockstar type leaders in each of my three divisions: learning and development, employee relations and safety, payroll and benefits. We are private equity owned so by definition we run a lean organization, focused on rapid growth, mostly through acquisitions. We use leadership development as one of our mini integration tools during our merger acquisition processes we are a business-supporting function 100% of the time. Our job in human resources is to ensure we accomplish the company goals while maintaining full compliance with all employment laws, and operating in an ethical manner. Part of being successful is having people satisfied with their work arrangement and considering the workplace a great place to be.
