I’m a Human Resource professional with 6+ years of experience driving organisational performance through strategic HR management, employee relations, and workforce optimisation. I’m known for strengthening industrial relations, reducing employee turnover, and designing HR policies aligned to business objectives.

In my current role as Human Resource Officer – Employee Relations at Crown Paints Kenya PLC, I lead negotiations to secure registration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and stabilise industrial relations. I’ve helped reduce disciplinary cases by 30% and achieved a 20% reduction in turnover through engagement, coaching, and consistent policy enforcement.

I also manage measurable, business-critical HR outcomes—reducing leave liability to an average of 5.8 days per employee and improving cost control while overseeing a KES 50+ million medical insurance scheme. I’ve delivered HR advisory support across teams to ensure timely resolution of issues, including in a distributed work environment.

Previously, as a Human Resource Assistant at West Kenya Sugar Co. Ltd, I supported the operational launch of a factory by coordinating end-to-end recruitment and onboarding of 100+ employees. I helped maintain a dispute-free industrial environment, supported performance management via Balanced Scorecards, and standardised HR policies and procedures to strengthen compliance and governance.
