In this episode, Lindsey introduces Kailey Brownfield, a recent graduate of Bowling Green State University and HR Generalist at Sofo Foods.
Kaylee shares her journey from academia to the trucking industry, highlighting her internships at Honda and ES Wagner, which she secured through job fairs and platforms like Handshake and LinkedIn.
In her current role at Sofo Foods, Kailey collaborates with a five-member HR team, focusing on staffing for non-CDL drivers and managing an on-site CDL training program. She leverages her fresh perspective on technology and workplace innovation to drive positive change. The conversation also delves into the complexities of operating across multiple states and the challenges posed by varying drug screening policies.
With aspirations to become an HR Director within the next decade, Kailey encourages Gen Z to step outside their comfort zones and embraces diverse opportunities. She also advocates for empathetic leadership practices as a means of better engaging younger employees.
