Background

About Ann Devost

With over 20 years of progressive experience in human resources, I am a strategic partner who executes HR initiatives and collaborates with all levels of management to implement operational and process improvements. I hold the PHR and SHRM-CP credentials and have a strong background in OSHA compliance, employee recognition, and performance reviews. As a Senior HR Business Partner at Protective Industrial Products, I support global and corporate business units, including finance, IT, marketing, legal, and M&A. I consult with management on key HR focus areas, such as employee relations, compensation, recruitment, and policy implementation. I also manage the company's annual performance evaluation event and develop strategies and solutions to address workplace issues. Additionally, I have expertise in union relations, having negotiated collective bargaining agreements, responded to union grievances, and attended arbitration hearings in my previous roles.
