At ACC, I revolutionized their onboarding, driving efficiency, engagement, and global alignment. I led the design and rollout of a standardized onboarding framework, creating impactful templates and training that boosted e-learning completion by 35%. By leveraging feedback surveys, I continuously improved processes and raised engagement scores by 15%. I also hosted a branded ChargeUp event for new hires across Europe and launched a buddy program, fostering connection and a culture-first experience.

At Forvia, I championed transformative initiatives to elevate talent development and retention. I created training materials for 1,400 HR pros, launched a performance management MOOC, and designed a global KPI/retention strategy to strengthen the talent pipeline. I also hosted a high-impact training event for top global sales leaders, fostering excellence and leadership. These initiatives drove a 20% retention boost and equipped managers with actionable tools, aligning talent strategy with business growth.

At the MN State Courts, I played a pivotal role in adapting operations during the pandemic, ensuring service continuity and efficiency. I pioneered remote trials, facilitating over 500 via Zoom, boosting trial scheduling capacity, and managing crisis communications during shutdowns. I also trained new employees on high-priority case types and coordinated juror management, including training and surveys. These efforts positioned the courts as leaders in innovation and operational resilience during COVID.

At Opportunity Services, I partnered with 40+ organizations to drive inclusive talent initiatives. I successfully advocated for Mayo to revamp onboarding for adults with disabilities and managed training for 45+ clients. By conducting 50+ competency assessments and delivering bi-monthly coaching, I empowered clients to achieve career growth while fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace. My tailored strategies ensured impactful training and sustainable progress for all stakeholders.
