AN UPDATE ON WHO'S WHO IN HUMAN RESOURCES

Since the 21 April issue of Staff Notes, when we informed readers on the 
personnel and activities within Human Resources Services (HR), some 
changes have occurred.  Three new hires have come on board to replace 
departing staff Barbara Mendez, Kathy Poling, and Kristen Womer.  Some 
cost-saving reorganization also has taken place.  Here is a run-down on 
the new HR staff and the new duties of some continuing staff.
	
New staff:

Jackie Christianson, compensation analyst, ext. 8703, processes job 
reclassifications and reviews job descriptions for Requests for Staff.

Delaine Orendorff, HR assistant, ext. 8711, provides assistance with 
compensation-related processes.

Shuang Yang, HR assistant, ext. 8710, manages the UCAR employee 
database and handles such benefits as health insurance, TIAA/CREF, and 
workers' compensation.

New duties:

Chyrl Brunner, administrator, ext. 8718, works with ad hoc committees 
such as the Institutional Equity Committee, Human Resources Advisory 
Committee, and Compensation Oversight Board.  Chyrl also provides 
government identification cards when needed for frequent travelers.

Sharon Hsi, HR assistant, ext. 8714, provides assistance with securing 
visas for international visitors and manages the visitor database.

Jodi Wiemer, employment and staff development administrator, ext. 8717, 
develops and conducts training programs, directs staff to resources for 
special-needs development, and assists supervisors in hiring exempt 
employees.

If you have any questions about HR's new structure or its ongoing 
services, feel free to contact any HR staff member.  --BH
