HR Officer at International Rescue Committee who migrated leave management to Workday and digitized personnel files.

Message

At International Rescue Committee (IRC), I lead HR operations for the country program, including monthly payroll, recruitment, benefits administration, and employee support. I also manage employee records and HR processes in Workday.

I led the migration of absence and leave management from HR Master to Workday, improving data accuracy and real-time visibility. I also spearheaded the digitization of the country program's file management system, moving records from physical to digital.

I strengthen payroll controls by reconciling payroll data with Workday and Finance, and contributed to drafting the payroll processing SOP. I also designed a contract expiry tracking system with advance alerts to hiring managers.

Before becoming HR Officer, I worked as an HR Assistant, HR Assistant (Volunteer), and HR Intern at IRC. I hold a Bachelor of Human Resource Management from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
