FirstOnSite Restoration strengthens employee focus with newly-created role – Manager, Talent Acquisition

MISSISSAUGA, ON., Dec. 14, 2017 /insPRESS/  – FirstOnSite Restoration, Canada’s leading independent disaster restoration services provider, has strengthened its commitment to current and future employees with the creation of a new role: Manager, Talent Acquisition.

Filling the role is Leah Pearson, who will lead a coordinated approach to hiring and onboarding new employees and ensuring they experience an exceptional journey. Pearson will also work closely with the existing HR Business Partner (HRBP) team, who assist FirstOnSite branches across the country. In recent years, this team led the development of an employee-focused approach to company culture. Learning from an annual employee engagement survey, the team introduced industry leading benefits plans, employee recognition activities and a variety of other noteworthy programs that contribute to the overall health and wellness of the FirstOnSite team.

“Our work can be very challenging, and we typically meet customers in times of crisis. As a result, employees sometimes need to mobilize and leave their friends and families to help others,” says Craig Sampson, Vice President, Human Resources at FirstOnSite. “It takes a unique kind of individual to thrive in this sort of environment. Our HRBP team is working hard to ensure that our current employees thrive, and Leah will help ensure that those talented individuals who find helping others rewarding will find their way to us”.

Leah’s previous experience as an HRBP in FirstOnSite’s B.C. region enables her to understand both the restoration industry and employee needs, and positions her to help lead this new national commitment.
