RE: Julie Rose expands duties to include safety & Health
Urbana: Julie Rose came to CRSI in December 1996 as a “temp” working in the accounting department. She then moved into a full-time position in January 1997 as a Human Resource Specialist.
As an HR Specialist, she has been working in a team environment hiring and training new employees, coordinating orientation classes and working with employee benefits.
In 2006, she took on the role of Benefits Manager, overseeing all company employee benefits such as insurance, disability and leaves of absence.
In November of this year, Rose’s job has expanded to include that of Safety and Health Manager. She now oversees all areas of CRSI’s Safety & Health program in addition to her employee benefits work. This includes managing the Worker’s Compensation and unemployment programs, maintaining and assuring that all OSHA and EEO compliance requirements are met, and coordinating an agency-wide S&H committee.
The CRSI S&H program encompasses all CRSI office personnel and all locations across a thirty county area where employees perform developmental disability services. Many areas of S&H are licensure required and are held to the highest level of responsibility by CRSI, such as fire and disaster training, employee and consumer safety, workplace safety and more.
“Julie being promoted to this position makes logical sense as she was instrumental in implementing the CRSI’s Wellness Program which fits into her role as Safety and Health Manager as well as CRSI’s commitment to provide a safe and healthy atmosphere for our employees and people we serve,” says Chief Business Officer Barb Keller.
The CRSI Wellness Committee coordinates a quarterly employee newsletter, keeps staff updated on the latest health news reports, plans community health fairs and other activities that keep everyone knowledgeable and up-to-date on health and wellness issues.
