HR leader at Nature's Sunshine Products who improved HRIS and payroll processes and created a global onboarding database.
What I'm looking for
At Nature's Sunshine Products, I partnered with HR and business leaders on employee lifecycle processes, workforce data, payroll, benefits, HRIS, and compliance. I created a SharePoint database and intranet for global onboarding programs.
I led HRIS and payroll process improvements and prepared compliance data for EEO-1 reporting, 401(k) testing, Form 5500, and ISO 9000 requirements. I also designed HR and workforce reports to support HR and Finance decisions.
At Younique Products, LLC, I led UltiPro HRIS configuration and reporting and developed a digital annual performance review process. I’m PHR-certified and, after a planned career break focused on family responsibilities and professional development, I’m preparing for the next stage of my HR leadership career.
