Toys R Us Work Values

District Human Resource Manager • Responsible for the effective guidance, supervision and control of all Human Resource programs in 46 stores. My region consists of Missouri, Central Illinois, and Minnesota. • Recruiting, Training, Associate and Management relations, Sexual harassment, Labor relations, Benefits administration, Compensation and Employee retention. • A consultant to individual Directors, Assistant Directors, and District Managers. • Growth and development for all new Manager Trainees and existing Managers. • Certified to teach Effective management skill classes, LIFO orientation, and Diversity classes. Human Resource Manager - Distribution • Responsible for the recruiting and hiring of managers and associates. • Increased the total number of associates from 400 to over 1000. • Assist Managers in developing action plans for their growth and development. • Worked closely with DCM and Management team in staffing decisions. I conducted special training classes for hourly supervisors and team leaders. The class content was how managers could lead more effectively, recognition, and effective listening skills. Facilitated “breakfast with the boss”-DCM- I rotated associates from each department monthly to have a question & answer session with the DCM. At that time each associate would speak on behalf of their departments with any concerns or idea’s they may have. All notes were taken by my team. The DCM and I would meet the next day to discuss what we could do differently or what needed to stay the same. A newsletter then was crafted and given to all associates. This process prevented any associates to feel that they needed a third party to speak on their behalf.

What they like about Toys R Us:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
