Seasoned HR Professional Values The “Fun Stuff”

Technekes LLC has created a new leadership role, bringing on Anna Cork as human resources director. In her new role, Cork will oversee all personnel-related responsibilities including employee recruitment, professional development, evaluations, compensation, benefits, and “cultural enhancements.”

“We are excited to have found someone with such extensive experience and relevant skills,” says Steve Amedio, Technekes’ president and COO. “Technekes is a great place to work. Anna can help us get the word out and more important — make our workplace even better.”

“It’s invigorating to join a company that puts a high value on the ‘fun stuff’,” says Anna. “Technekes already offers an unconventional environment with activities like office yoga, bike breaks, and rooftop get-togethers. I look forward to finding creative ways to reinforce this unique culture through employee relations, process improvement, and recruiting more talent.”

Anna, who holds a MALS in Interdisciplinary Studies from Hollins University, comes to Technekes with more than 16 years of human relations and recruiting experience. Most recently, she was the corporate HR manager at Arauco North America.
