What’s New in HR?

June saw some new faces join the ASLS Team and a mat leave come to an end.

Taking a look back on June there were;

– 8 new Community Support Worker hires in the Grande Prairie Region

– 7 new Community Support Worker hires in Peace River & Grimshaw Region

– 2 new Health Care Aid hires at Stone Brook

Thank you to the 16 ASLS Team Members who Referred a Friend in June!

We would like to thank CCVO for the Parks Canada Discovery Pass we won after filling out the Alberta Nonprofit Survey. The pass is for all Individuals and staff to use! Watch for more details on Sharevision of how you can ‘sign out’ the pass.

HR spotlight: Amanda Werny

Amanda started with ASLS in Grande Prairie in September 2018. She came to us from the Grande Prairie Public School District where she was an Educational Assistant.

Although Amanda started part-time in our Food Program as the coordinator, that changed to full-time in January when she accepted the Administrative & Food Program Coordinator role. She has recently been named Residential Administrative Coordinator, where she will assist Team Leads with Person Centered Plans across the organization. Our staff will also see her around offices and residences assisting with on-boarding, orientations, health & safety and ensuring we also provide the highest level of support.

So yes, she is very busy!
