Please join Human Resources in welcoming Alison Coulter as our new HR Business Partner. Alison will become part of the Humber family on May 15, 2017.

Alison has over 13 years of human resources experience and has worked with diverse client groups in areas such as employee and labour relations, organizational design, job design and evaluation, recruitment and talent management including performance management. Most recently, Alison was a Human Resources Consultant for the University of Toronto and she provided the full range of human resources services to a client group within the university. She has also worked as a Human Resources Consultant for the City of Toronto providing strategic human resources expertise in the areas of employee and labour relations as well as recruitment and retention. Alison also holds a Bachelor of Commerce with a minor in Human Resources from Ryerson University.

As a HR Business Partner, Alison will support departments under the Vice President, Advancement and External Relations and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.  While many of you may be aware that Cathy Brown is currently supporting these departments, Cathy has advised the Human Resources department she will be retiring at the end of this year. Over the next few weeks, Cathy will be assisting Alison with her transition to the college system and then she will be moving to a position on the HRMS Team where she will provide expertise on College Collective Agreements and Human Resources practices from her 26 years in the college sector.    

The Human Resources department will be announcing the arrangements with respect to Cathy’s retirement closer to her actual retirement date. In the meantime, we would like to express our gratitude to Cathy for her willingness to assist with transition planning and our excitement in welcoming Alison to the Human Resources family.
