The Human Resources (HR) department is another main force in keeping the operations of KBA running smoothly. Working behind the scenes is Vice President of HR and Risk Management, Director of Human Resources, Human Resources Administrator, and Vocational Specialists.
The HR department is in charge of all employee hirings across the company. When positions become available, “job orders” are posted online on Career Link, Craig’s List, and notifications are made to agencies such as the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, Blindness and Visual Services, Veterans Administration, etc. for referrals. Resumes and applications are reviewed and background checks are conducted. Candidates are then referred to the appropriate supervisor for interviews.
Once a job offer is made and accepted, HR processes all the necessary documentation to enter the new employee into the data base for payroll and for compliance purposes. HIPPA compliance is maintained for health records and documentation.
HR is responsible for maintaining the physical files of all present and past employees and for generating reports for PIBH, DGS, the federal and state government and other reporting sources. Also handled are any accident reports for employees or travelers and any damage reports to property owned or operated by the agency.
