Background

About Kris Martin

I am an accomplished, versatile professional with a distinguished career history steering large-scale, complex human resources activities to achieve optimal performance. To date, I have worked with such noteworthy organizations as York Region, Ontario Power Generation, and Amdocs. While I have proven my capabilities in the utilities, software, logistics, and government sectors, I possess a wide array of transferable skills suitable for other focuses. My areas of expertise include employee relations and retention, organizational development, union relationship management, project/program management, and data-driven decision making. I have experienced repeated success directing transformative initiatives that have enabled organizational change, pioneered the implementation of new and emerging technical systems, and revitalized underperforming departments and teams. Through my leadership, I have effectively steered the development and successful implementation of multi-year digital strategies organization-wide, and swiftly handling complex negotiations with third parties and union representatives. I pride myself as a collaborative leader with a commitment to coordinating with executive teams to ensure all human resources functions align with corporate objectives. I am also continuously improving myself professionally, and recently earned the distinction as a certified Change Management Practitioner (CPM). I am eager to employ my diverse skill set to aid organizations in need.
