Human Resources Specialist (Work-Life Programs)
CurrentMy duties as a Work-Life Program Manager have required me to provide training and/or advise on policies, procedures, and requirements of the Workers’ Compensation, Drug-Free Workplace, Telework, Reasonable Accommodations, and Civilian Fitness and Wellness Programs. I have served as a technical expert on these programs and processed time-sensitive requests in each of these areas requiring coordination between multiple offices both within and outside of HR and I have maintained relationships with program managers for these programs outside of DTRA. To ensure accurate reporting of data, I have either modified pre-existing trackers or established trackers for each program which allows the front office to report on various data points. I have also been the primary point of contact for the establishment of various dashboards for the Telework Program. I have collaborated with other specialists to create articles informing employees of the Agency on their rights and on the procedures of the aforementioned programs as well as the Worker’s Compensation, Professional Liability, and Employee Assistance Programs. This position regularly requires me to modify or develop briefings on my assigned areas which cover a myriad of topics related to Work-Life Programs and are used to familiarize agency employees and managers with these programs. My tenure in this position has given me an in-depth working knowledge of the requirements of each section of Human Resources, their respective programs and policies, and allowed me to foster great working relationships with managers throughout the Agency. My experience in multiple disciplines within Human Resources Management (HRM) has enabled me to approach complex issues from multiple perspectives to arrive at solutions which allow management to meet their human capital needs. This position has equipped me with the ability to apply a wide range of HR policies and practices to solving the HRM issues of staffing, retention, and training.
