HR Staffing Coordinator at Home Depot

"I had the pleasure working with Joanna Woo in launching the D85 Bath Selling & Space Planning Program at The Home Depot Richmondhill store (7106). She played an integral part in the execution, coaching and evaluation of the program. Joanna ensured her Associates were provided the materials needed to complete their training, provided support and demonstrated leadership through her integrity, honesty, and coaching her Associates during their learning period. She has also provided valuable feedback to improve the program that made it more relevant to the Associates on-the-job capabilities and help improve the support structure to ensure the program is successfully executed to the full division. Joanna’s leadership, customer service, adaptability capabilities, along with great personality makes her a valuable team member to any project." April 29, 2011
