Be part of the Pest Control Operators of California's collaborative group where we share tips, eat great food and gain CE credits while learning from professional guest speakers (located on the 2nd floor). We are pleased to restart in person meetings with guest speakers Chris Parks principal at Parks Pest Management Consulting & Tammy Comproni principal at California HR Connection. Want to learn tips on how to keep moral positive at an organization or how to attract new talent? Make sure that no employees attend this meeting as Tammy will navigate us through employee minefields and will highlight which pitfalls to avoid. Chris Parks is a Business & Leadership Coach in addition to being involved in his local ministry. Chris previously worked at Advanced IPM for over seven years in San Jose. He was the primary manager of the San Jose branch and was also responsible for the Concord branch at the same time for a short while. He has direct knowledge and experience to successfully grow a pest control branch. Chris continues his passion for the pest control industry as a consultant helping business reach their full potential. Tammy Comproni has worked in the service industry for most of her career. 25 of those years was in the Pest Control industry, working for the Orkin Commercial Division and Isotech Pest Management. During the 12 years at Orkin she worked as an office manager and spent 1 year in the field as a pest control technician, learning the service side of the business and understanding the day-to-day operations of the field team. As an office manager, she wanted to further her knowledge and had a desire to understand employment laws. She then joined Isotech pest management where she had the opportunity to expand her knowledge of Human Resource and learned how to navigate the challenges of a growing company during its 12 years prior to the acquisition in 2016. Wanting to further her HR skills, she received her PHR (Professional Human Resource) certification in Federal Law and also received her PHRca certification for California Law. When Isotech was acquired, she had already realized there was a need for someone that had HR knowledge and was knowledgeable in the Pest Control industry, especially for growing pest control companies. It was the perfect time for her to take that leap of faith and start the California HR Connection and HR4PestControl. The California HR Connection offers specialized documents, training and more for the pest control industry. Tammy also offers a subscription based HR platform that provides anytime access to HR tools, documents and Live HR advice.
