Jeff Flowers’s Summary
With my experiences in manufacturing management and staffing/recruiting I am uniquely positioned to assist you in business organizational development.
I am passionate about helping companies identify and develop their Human Resources in a positive way.
I understand the daily routines of manufacturing management and how the interactions between supervisors and employees can be strained with production, safety and quality pressures.
I can speak from experience that having an employee "user's guide" can help every manager improve not only people relationships but the measured variables in a mill.
Let me work with you to develop plans and procedures for hiring practices, succession planning, manager evaluations, sales force assessments, etc.
If our government is setting 10% unemployment as the norm, we need to take advantage of the tools that are available to identify the real top shelf talent and to blend them successfully into organizations.
Contact me at 512-392-5508 or jeff@woodproductgroup.com to discuss.
