To Cecilia, every employee has the capacity for self-empowerment and the potential to overcome challenges and become an ideal employee. In her role as an influential change agent, ‘CiCi’ is driven to create strategic solutions to help employees thrive while achieving corporate goals. Cecilia focuses on developing key relationships with senior leaders to provide innovative HR solutions including coaching and mentoring programs, affinity groups, apprenticeship programs and ATS implementation to drive talent acquisition, employee engagement, retention, employee relations and leadership training. She is known by employees at her plant as a passionate HR professional who drives everyone towards achieving Schwan’s desired state.
