Hey there! I'm Leah Cochran, a Bilingual Human Resources Generalist with a passion for people and a knack for making HR processes a breeze. With a solid 10-year career under my belt, I'm your go-to gal for everything from staff recruitment and retention to employee relations and benefits administration.
In my most recent gig as an HR Consultant at MillerKnoll, I was the brains behind implementing HR processes and providing direct support for Operations Leadership. I even played matchmaker between HR and IT, introducing game-changing technology solutions like Power BI dashboards, making reporting a walk in the park. I've got a knack for identifying, developing, and implementing process improvements, ensuring that HR initiatives are not just effective but efficient too.
Before that, I rocked the HR world at Boar's Head Brand, where I wore many hats, from Sr HR Coordinator to HR Technician. As part of the Workday implementation team, I collaborated with other facilities, collected and imported data like a pro, and even translated benefits materials for the team. I'm not just about numbers and data – I'm the friendly face who conducts thorough investigations, provides coaching to supervisors, and ensures that payroll is as smooth as butter.
Armed with a BA in Human Resource Management from Grand Valley State University and certifications as a PHR and SHRM-CP, I'm excited to bring my skills, energy, and expertise to the ITS team. Let's make HR awesome together!
