Human Resources Manager

Help

Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t have to.

Sir Richard Branson
Human Resources Manager

In A Nutshell

I bridge the gap between employees and managers in a company by working through questions, demands, or concerns.

I coordinate the way employees get paid, and oversee benefits like healthcare.

I create a supportive company environment so that employees know they’re being taken care of.

Important Skills

Active Listening

When employees come to me with issues, it’s very important they leave my office feeling that their voice was heard and that they were listened to.

Conflict Resolution

Employees are only human, and sometimes they get into disagreements. It’s my job to get these conflicts smoothed over as quickly and cleanly as possible.

Multi-tasking

Because I’m representing so many people, I always have many projects on the go at once, so being able to juggle these projects and meet all the deadlines is important.
