@maryakanji
I build effective HR operations, employee experiences, and compliant administrative systems.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee records, performance management, attendance, turnover, and engagement at Equitable Health Access Initiative. Previously, I led HR and administration at Newlord Nigeria Limited, coordinating department activities, recruitment, training, policy implementation, employee relations, and personnel data management.
Across Omis Investment Limited, Zeta Web Nigeria Limited, and Prestige Hospitality Solution, I've built recruitment processes, performance-management systems, vendor and asset-management processes, and strong employee and client relationships. I'm committed to equality, diversity, inclusion, confidentiality, and creating workplaces where people feel valued and supported.
