Richard McGhghy

Results-driven HR professional with extensive experience in human capital management, employee relations, compliance, and organizational development across multiple industries, including manufacturing, dining services, and industrial construction. Proven ability to lead HR system implementations, streamline processes, and enhance workplace culture to drive operational efficiency and employee engagement. Skilled in talent acquisition, conflict resolution, training programs, and regulatory compliance. Strong track record of reducing workplace complaints, improving HR operations, and fostering inclusive work environments.   

Note: For me, job titles are secondary to the impact I can make. I’m looking for a role that aligns well with my strengths. I see it as a great opportunity to apply my experience and knowledge, or I wouldn’t submit my application. I’m looking for a position where I can contribute meaningfully, support organizational growth, and continue developing as a professional within a company that values its people."

I bring over a decade of HR leadership experience across multiple industries, including manufacturing, dining services, and industrial construction. I’ve led teams, managed full-cycle recruitment, overseen HRIS and HCM implementations, and built strong employee relations programs that made a difference, like reducing complaints by over 50% and streamlining outdated systems into digital platforms.

Before HR, I spent time as a coach and athletic director, and that experience shaped my leadership style. I approach HR the same way I approached coaching: it’s all about developing people, building trust, and creating a team culture where everyone can grow and perform their best. Whether it's handling tough employee situations or supporting leadership through change, I bring that same mindset of structure, fairness, and motivation to the table.

Right now, I’m looking for a role where I can continue doing what I love—supporting a company’s goals by building a strong, engaged workforce and being a hands-on partner to operations and leadership."
