District Observes October 14 as Texas Education Human Resources Day

Disponible en:

The school district will honor the Human Resources staff on Wednesday, October 14. The department is instrumental in recruiting, selecting, resourcing, and retaining quality staff that supports high-quality educational experiences for all students.

“Our Human Resources is a valued and respected department with an amazing team,” Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney said. “The staff do an excellent job of supporting and strengthening Aldine’s most important asset — our staff. HR team members ensure we have great employees dedicated to student growth and achievement.”

Human Resources also plays a crucial role in fostering satisfaction and loyalty among employees by encouraging professional growth and development. The staff also keeps employees informed about policies, working conditions, compensation, and benefits.

Staff also monitor and manage current and future workforce trends, organizational culture, legal and legislative trends, and ethical and social responsibility.

The department is also vital to the overall productivity and efficiency of Aldine’s workforce. For instance, HR will conduct employee surveys to gauge how educators or potential future educators feel about the staff and the learning environment in AISD. The information helps make needed changes, provide specific training, offer leadership pipeline opportunities, or consider technology needs. The staff also ensures Aldine has the right staff with the right skills needed for specific roles or teaching assignments.

Dr. Javier Villarreal

Over the years, the Human Resources Department’s involvement has had an increase in district-level decisions. One of the people seated at the table with AISD leadership is Chief of Human Resources Javier Villarreal.

“In Aldine ISD, we believe that every student deserves access to high-quality schools and educators. We keep students’ best interest in every decision we make, from recruitment to leadership development and retention support. It is truly a team effort. We all believe that our students deserve it,” Villarreal said.

Villarreal added that the HR Department prides itself on being a champion of all employees and reaches out to staff to remind them that it is a resource and a voice for employees.

Aldine ISD encourages students, staff, and parents to express their appreciation to human resources team members for their dedication and commitment to district employees and students.

To celebrate Texas Education Human Resources Day, Villarreal and the HR executive directors have invited HR staff to a free lunch on Wednesday, Oct. 14. HR leaders have arranged for a food truck to stop by the Donaldson Administration Building. Each staff member will receive a ticket to present to pick up their meal.

Dr. Robin Williams invited the department to wear their HR staff shirts for photos while, most importantly, having some fun while socially distancing. Williams is the executive director of performance management and development.
