Employee Relations Specialist at HLBMA, LLC developing investigation workflows and supervisor guidance.

At HLBMA, LLC, I advise HR and operational leaders on workplace investigations, performance management, corrective action, and employee concerns. I lead sensitive investigations from intake through findings and recommendations, and develop ER workflows and documentation standards.

At the City of Savannah, I advised executives and department leaders on employee relations and EEO matters, and developed a progressive discipline framework and workplace mediation program. Earlier, I supported a transportation workforce transition at Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and managed a $1.5 million self-insured workers’ compensation budget.
