Mark Griffin has supported ABWE in a variety of human resources capacities. His leadership in utilizing his team to analyze our benefit structure has been impressive, spawning a redesign that increased our range of benefits while producing partnerships that led to six figure annual premium reductions and overall seven-figure expense reductions in our annual benefit costs. In HIS Name HR designed a recruitment process that has remarkably impacted our hiring procedure. We have significantly decreased recruitment time while vastly improving our ability to reach and select prime, highly talented employees for our organization.

“Mark took over as District HR Manager in our Novi, MI lab not long after we defeated the IUOE (Operating Engineers) in a supervised vote, clearly a sensitive time that required insight into the situation on the floor as well as an unrelenting eye to process, detail, and legal ramificaitons. He also covered our Canada Division at the same time, and thus had a foot in each country. With responsibility from Vancouver, BC to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and a post-union vote in Michigan, Mark had a wide ranging, highly demanding job. And I'd have Mark back in a heartbeat.”
