VENZA, a leading provider of data protection and regulatory compliance solutions for the hospitality industry, announced the appointment of Robin McGuire as director of human resources. In this position, she will lead the company’s organizational strategy for staffing, personnel development and employee wellness.

McGuire was previously the human resources manager and joined VENZA in 2009. With 14 years of service to the company, she is one of its longest-tenured staff members. She brings extensive experience in hiring, employee management, professional development and compliance to the position.

As the director of human resources, McGuire will be a member of VENZA’s executive leadership team and report directly to the chief executive officer. In this capacity, she will contribute to the development of the company’s overall strategic and cultural approach. The newly created position will also be responsible for maintaining effective recruiting mechanisms, facilitating the company’s onboarding process, administering employee benefit services, and managing other members of the Human Resources team.

“One of the highlights of working in human resources has been the opportunity to see individuals on our team flourish in their positions over time,” said McGuire. “In this new position, I will have the opportunity to focus on the critical task of designing an organizational strategy that provides the best fit and support for our team. This will energize our efforts to expand the features that have made VENZA such an outstanding and rewarding place to work.”

“Companies work best when employees have the opportunity to work in positions they are invested in and that fit their strengths,” she added. “It will be my priority to work to place our staff in their sweet spot. We’ll be creating new strategies to evaluate the requirements for each position and ensure that our staff are supported and well-placed in the future.”

“Robin has been with VENZA since the beginning and understands our culture like no other,” said Daniel Johnson, chief executive officer at VENZA. “She embodies the characteristics that we strive to promote and will act as a beacon for sharing our values to all of our staff.”

“Robin’s tenure and overall company knowledge make her uniquely suited for the new position,” he continued. “The company’s ongoing expansion and maturation have necessitated the restructuring and specialization of our human resources department. By elevating her to the position of director, Robin McGuire now has the opportunity to dedicate her time to establishing and implementing a strategic vision for employee development throughout the company. We’re extremely excited to see this play out during VENZA’s next phase.”
