@simeekaramdial
Strategic HR leader driving workforce optimization, cultural transformation, and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic HR leader with 15+ years of experience partnering with C-suite leaders to align people strategy with business objectives across multi-state operations. I have driven measurable outcomes including 28% turnover reduction, 40% legal risk mitigation, and $100K+ in operational savings while supporting 3,000+ employees.
My strengths include employee relations, high-stakes investigations, workforce optimization, and HR technology optimization (ADP Workforce Now, CareerPlug, HireVue, Case Builder, Hot Schedules, Navex). I have rebuilt recruiting and onboarding systems, launched compensation frameworks, and led multi-state payroll operations with under 1% processing errors.
I lead with calm, confident stewardship through crisis and change—designing OSHA-aligned safety programs, directing benefits strategy to increase participation, and executing organizational responses to ensure business continuity and regulatory compliance.
