I possess over 30 years experience in Human Resources Management and Consulting in large and medium-sized organizations and have earned the SHRM-SCP certification (re-certified in April 2021). I have been a successful HR Advisor at Mineral (2021-22) and Oasis, a Paychex Company (2017-2020) where I utilized broad HR knowledge and expertise to provide superior advice and coaching to thousands of diverse clients in all 50 states regarding executing employee relations best practices, also ensured compliance with employment and wage and hour laws to minimize exposure. Facilitated defensible employee terminations and discipline for cause, performance improvement, developed and implemented employee handbook policies and investigated and resolved employee workplace complaints. At Mineral, I earned a 4.8/5 rating from clients and answered tickets 50% faster than the team average. For several employers and as a Freelancer, I have recruited and acquired talent for all levels of the organizations. As Owner of Winning Workplace Solutions from 2014 to 2017, I successfully delivered human resources and positive employee relations consulting services to a diverse array of clients in 12 states. I supported one client for one year during which I substantially upgraded the level of human resources services (labor relations, employment law compliance, staffing, etc.) to their business units, 18 locations and 350 employees. Led successful Positive Employee Relations Initiatives for many clients.

"we hired gary to be a recruiter for our company we needed a couple electrician's and appliance installers around the chicago area. unfortunately while gary was very nice he didn't know how to login into our technology, this was the first red flag. 2nd he had no recruiting database and expected us to supply everything as if he were an employee. we were looking for someone to supply recruiting database and have the ability to write there own ads and find a large number of candidates in 1-2 weeks unfortunately we have a few bad leads and no onboarding take place in a week and a half. one day of stopping contract we search two databases of our own find candidates and hire them to start 2 days later. these are tradesman and not that difficult to find this should have been an easy project."

Portfolio

This Employee Handbook covers over 500 employees across three business entities in three states. It was completed before the client's deadline. The Handbook is compliant with applicable Federal and state laws as well as contemporary employee relations best practices.
Employee Handbook
Positive Employee Relations is a contemporary management approach that recognizes that employees are adults that deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Successful businesses encourage their employees to be engaged and involved in the workplace. In addition to this supervisor training, Positive Employee Relations initiatives include progressive policies, effective communications and problem solving processes, employee talent development, commitment to a code of conduct, constructive performance management, legal compliance and progressive discipline. I assisted in developing this basic leadership training and have delivered it and accompanying initiatives many times.
