Group Human Resource Manager at Trico Industries Limited, revitalising WebHR workflows and strengthening people systems.

Trinidad and Tobago
Message

At Trico Industries Limited, I lead the HR function across a diversified multi-entity group, partnering with executives and managers on workforce priorities and organisational capability. I revitalised the organisation’s use of WebHR and strengthened digital workflows for employee records, leave, performance processes and management reporting.

At Cipriani College of Labour & Co-operative Studies, I design and deliver tertiary-level instruction in Human Resource Management. I develop learning materials and assessments that connect HR theory with practical workplace applications for adult learners.

Earlier, at Bhagans Drugs, I established branch HR processes for recruitment, training and performance appraisal while also supervising employees and daily operations. I strengthened leave and payroll controls, improving accuracy and recovering approximately TT$10,000 within one year.
