Labor and Employee Relations Specialist enhancing workplace culture and efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am a Labor and Employee Relations Specialist with advanced degrees in Psychology and International Relations. My extensive experience in strategic HR business partnering, labor relations, and operational process improvements has equipped me to enhance workplace culture, reduce organizational risk, and drive efficiency through innovative HR solutions and automation.
Currently, I serve as a Human Resources Business Partner at BAE Systems, where I align HR strategies with corporate objectives for a workforce of 1,000 employees, 75% of whom are unionized. I lead initiatives in employee relations, compliance, talent management, and workforce planning, while also implementing automation solutions that significantly enhance efficiency and analytics capabilities. My commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and a robust safety culture is evident in my proactive change management efforts.
Previously, I have worked with Pyramid Healthcare and the Department of Navy, where I provided expert HR guidance, managed performance processes, and conducted comprehensive investigations into employee relations issues. My background also includes experience as a 911 Dispatcher, where I honed my skills in crisis response and emergency communications. I am dedicated to leveraging my skills and experiences to foster a positive and productive workplace environment.
