Pennsylvania College of Technology has named Hillary E. Hofstrom associate vice president for human resources and expanded the responsibilities of two other longtime administrators in the Human Resources Office.
Hofstrom, who had been director of employee relations and compliance, will oversee all activities within Human Resources. She will report to Suzanne T. Stopper, vice president for finance/CFO, and Penn College President Davie Jane Gilmour. She will also serve on President’s Council.
LaDonna J. Caldwell remains director of compensation and benefits but takes on new responsibilities within Human Resources. She will be responsible for administering the college’s wage and salary programs, supervising the employee benefits program, administering the job/position analysis process, partnering with Financial Operations on the salary increment process, reviewing and authorizing all college personnel actions for payroll, and supporting professional development and the onboarding process.
Molly J. Steele-Schrimp, who had been compensation and benefits specialist, becomes manager of employment. She will conduct new-employee orientations and exit interviews, serve as the initial contact for college employee benefit problems and information, process new and updated salary-system calculations, manage the employee leave of absence process, partner in the administration of worker’s compensation, and assure compliance with state Department of Transportation regulations related to employees using CDL licenses. She will also serve as the college’s deputy coordinator and lead investigator of Title VII, Title IX and Section 504/ADA for employment.
“I look forward to Human Resources at Penn College continuing to lead the way as an employee-centered workplace under Hillary’s leadership,” Gilmour said.
