  • New Human Resources organization went live on Sept. 16

    September 16, 2019

    On May 6, 绿奴天花板 announced a system-wide redesign of human resources into a unified office organized by areas of functional expertise. The directors of each functional area began reporting to the Chief Human Resources Officer and working on finalizing implementation and training plans this summer. All other human resources staff that went through the redesign process will officially start in their new capacity Sept. 16, 2019. There are no changes to local embedded HR support staff (PPAs and CCC) in the department.
