Evelyn MacLeod
Senior Human Resources Manager | Talent Strategy & Employee Relations
Laurentian Logistics Corporation
Dear Hiring Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in the HR Manager position at Laurentian Logistics Corporation. Having guided human resources operations and employee relations across regional and multi-site workplaces in Ontario, I welcome the opportunity to bring my practical experience in workforce planning, compliance management, and organizational development to your operational team in Ottawa.
In my current position as Senior Human Resources Manager at Rideau Valley Solutions, I direct HR operations across three regional offices while advising leadership on workforce planning and restructuring under Ontario employment standards. During this tenure, I restructured the corporate performance management and leadership development program, elevating internal promotion rates for supervisory tracks by 28%. Additionally, I partnered closely with business unit leaders to resolve complex workplace accommodation, harassment, and grievance matters with zero formal tribunal escalations.
My earlier work as Human Resources Manager at Kempton Logistics Group directly aligns with the operational demands of your logistics environment. There, I administered full-cycle human resources operations for a regional logistics workforce of 320 unionized and non-unionized employees. I served as a core member of the management bargaining committee during collective agreement negotiations, achieving ratified terms with zero work stoppages, while establishing standardized competency-based recruitment workflows that reduced average recruitment cycle time from 45 to 29 calendar days.
I look forward to discussing how my experience in labour relations, talent systems, and regulatory compliance can support Laurentian Logistics Corporation's workplace goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Evelyn MacLeod
