Sandra Fite
I've been in Human Resources almost 20 years. I began in 401(k) Administration, then as an HR Rep/Generalist and now 9 years as an HR Manager. HR Director is a more comparable title. I do not have a team. We are less than 100 employees. I manage every part of HR from payroll, benefits, recruiting, employee relations, management coaching, training, safety, policy and procedure. I take pride in maintaining an open door policy, catering to the employees needs while looking out for the company's interest. I have built trust in HR you normally don't see by being an employee.
