Am a hr generalist with more than three years as a human resource officer in a consultants firm, am adept in areas of recruitment and selection process which entailed sourcing for talents, conducting interviews, conducting background checks and completing the onboarding process. Training and development of staff moreso in areas of safety training, skills training, quality training and technical training. This afforded me the well-rounded skill set including communication skills, mentoring skills, teamwork and conflict resolution.

Additionally I was involved in managing the employees perfomance through conducting perfomance appraisals, providing direction in the flow of work, clarifying objectives, and regular checking of processes.

This also included ensuring statutory deductions are remitted in time to avoid penalties such pay as you earn (PAYE), NHIF, NSSF as the most basic statutory deductions in Kenya.
