HR Director Hired in Neosho

Neosho City has recently hired a new human resources director to take over the positions and oversee the responsibilities of the human resources department. The woman chosen for the job was Pam Baker, who will start off with an annual salary of $39,000.

Pam Baker received her Associate’s Degree in Business from the Crowder College. In January of 2011, she began working as a financial counselor. Before this position, she worked as a human resources manager at the Hunte Corporation, which is a position she held for over four years. Along with her work at Hunte, she had been working with human resources for nearly three decades and gained plenty of experience in different aspects of human resources,  which includes inventory, payroll, purchasing, and much more.

Baker has lived in the Neosho area for nearly four decades and is married to a man named Ron. Together, Pam and her husband have a child, along with two grandkids. While Pam loves her work, when she is not working, she likes to read books, hang out at home with her puppy, and also spend time with her beloved family and friends.

The City Manager, Troy Royer, said that he was excited for Pam to join the team as the Human Resources Director. He believes that with her extensive knowledge and experience, she will do nothing but good things for Neosho City. He believes that with Pam’s help, the city will be able to grow in a positive way.

The city of Neosho did not have a human resource director since last year, in September, when the former HR director, Jeff Booth, was let go by Royer. When Royer let Booth go, he did not have plans on filling in the empty position with anyone else. Instead, the duties that the HR director is responsible for then became the responsibility of the human resources manager, Carol Peterson. However, after much consideration, Royer realized that it was too much work to put on Carol Peterson, so he decided it was time to search for a new human resources director.

Now that Baker has been hired, she will take on the task of some of the most important HR aspects, while Peterson will not be responsible for as much as she once was. Peterson will be able to assist Baker whenever she needs it. With her new position, Baker will be working on fixing up the employee handbook and creating a system that works well for employees and their supervisors. She is thrilled to start her new position as the human resources director for the city of Neosho, especially since she has been a resident of Neosho City for quite some time.
