Summary

Posting : Manager- Class 4

I have been employed by the NSLC for 17 years with the most recent 6 years in a management role. I am an effective communicator and I've learned how active listening can build trust and relationships with team members and keep the workplace positive and upbeat, treating challenging tasks as opportunities with results we can all be proud of. I promote inclusivity within the team and actively encourage engagement and growth with all team members. I've had success in unifying team members who have had conflicting points of view by listening to both sides and mediating a compromise between the employees to help everyone move forward. Most recently I have been able to assist with improvements in safety measures for the team as well as motivating staff to set goals which results in staff satisfaction and retention.
