Hr Manager
I have been the Human Resource & Payroll Manager at Brandon Residential Treatment Center for 2 years now. It is a non-profit school and residential center that provides stabilization, diagnostic, educational, residential, clinical, day treatment and case management services to over 150 boys and their families annually, who suffer from emotional, behavioral and educational problems. It is a wonderful outlet for boys that are in need of this type of environment 24/7. I have over 180 employees, in very different fields, such as Principal, Teachers, Aids, Nurses, Chiefs, Secretaries, Case Managers, Resi Counselors and High Ranking Administrators, very challenging to say the least.

Now trying to convince my Administrators that they need this change was going to be challenging, so I needed to do my homework and get my research together to try and persuade them that this is the direction that they need to go. After reading this chapter I finally figured out what was driving my change and I think that Organization Imperatives is the strategic driver leading what must change in the organization such as technology, systems and
