With 24 years in Human Resources, my journey has been defined by a deep commitment to enhancing employee relations and performance management, particularly within mining and indigenous relations domains. At the core, my mission involves implementing tailored HR strategies that not only align with organizational goals but also foster a culture of engagement and respect. My current role as an Independent Human Resources Consultant involves comprehensive HR services, including recruitment, performance management, policy development, and career counselling. Leveraging my expertise, we enabled the successful review and implementation of an advanced HRIS system, and I played a pivotal role in collective bargaining, ensuring equitable outcomes for all parties. Our team's collaboration with senior management has been instrumental in addressing workforce challenges and setting the stage for sustainable growth and development.
