(Atlanta,
GA)… The Van Zant Resource Group (VRG) has been chosen by Owens-Corning
to strategically revise and update its plant policies and procedures for its Amarillo,
Texas,
facility.
The
Leadership Team of Owens-Corning, Amarillo, committed to its employees earlier in the year
to streamline and update its People Policies. Given the complexity of their business and
the competitive issues the company faces in its Composites Division, the Plant researched
firms that have demonstrated experience in providing strategic human resources solutions.
After reviewing numerous proposals, VRG, a management consulting firm specializing human
resources solutions, candidate sourcing, and contract staffing stood out as the clear
choice. "Our
business environment has necessitated change in many areas of our operations, not the
least of which is our culture and approach to people management," said Mark Holman,
HR manager, Owens-Corning. "We are very committed to excellent employee relations.
About two months ago we began the important project to develop a set of policies that: 1)improved
our communications on the standards we expect from employees, 2) could be more
consistently managed across work groups, shifts and departments and 3) did not create
wholesale changes to current policies without a sound business reason. VRG, and
specifically, Kathy Van Zant, has a proven track record for developing new ideas and
approaches in the HR arena that we want to implement. "We
chose VRG because of their extensive background in the manufacturing industry and direct
past experience with Corning Glass Works and Scientific-Atlanta," Holman added.
"They don't charge the exorbitant fees which too often accompany such a high-level of
expertise." "We are excited about this opportunity to work with Owens-Corning and provide
them with the high-quality work produced under high-standards that we consistently deliver
to all our clients," said Kathy Van Zant, President and CEO, VRG. As
part of their responsibilities, VRG will review existing policies and procedures,
interview management to determine business objectives and cultural change initiatives,
develop new policies and procedures, produce a policy manual for managers, prepare
implementation materials and train managers and employees. The
Van Zant Resource Group is a management consulting company specializing in candidate
sourcing, contract staffing and recruiting solutions, compensation, EEO/AAP compliance,
policies and procedures, mergers and acquisitions and training. The premier service,
Candidate Research, is VRG’s research and
sourcing method for recruiting high quality, difficult-to-find candidates in highly
competitive environments.
