Jean McGraw

With over 9 years of experience in human resources, I am passionate about creating a positive and inclusive work environment for employees and managers across the globe. As the Director of Human Resources, Americas at Workplace Options, I oversee all aspects of HR operations and strategy for the region, ensuring compliance, consistency, and alignment with the company's mission and values. I bring a diverse perspective and a collaborative approach to my role, leveraging my expertise in employee relations, communication, and talent acquisition to support the growth and development of our teams and organization.

In my current role, I manage the HR day-to-day operations, strategy, and execution for the Americas region, covering 4 countries, 7 offices, and 600+ employees. I work closely with the leadership team to identify workforce needs and proactively plan retention and recruitment strategies based on company data analysis, trends, and the respective market. I also provide management support and guidance with employee relations, progressive discipline, and the separation process; conducting employee relations investigations and development discussions to facilitate positive and constructive interactions. In addition, I assist in the implementation of global and country-specific standardized policies and procedures, while also consulting with local legal counsel on employment law, compliance, and HR-related legal matters. I use my communication, collaboration, and problem- solving skills to foster a culture of trust, transparency, and engagement among employees and managers.
