We couldn’t be happier to introduce Sarah Hatfield as the new Human Resources/Risk Management Manager. Sarah has a lot on her plate in her new role, but she is looking forward to all the excitement of working with the Habitat team.
What is your history with Habitat? Sarah first got involved with Habitat when an organization she worked for in Kansas City volunteered on a home build there.
What does the Human Resources/Risk Management Manager do? On the human resources side of her job, Sarah does things like administer benefit programs, produce the payroll, create policies and procedures, oversee compliance with employment laws and help with training, development and recruiting. As the Risk Management Manager, she administers safety and insurance programs and makes sure the organization is in compliance with OSHA regulations.
What is your favorite part about working Habitat? “The people,” Sarah says. “It’s a great staff. Everybody seems to be here for the right reasons.”
What are you looking forward to? Sarah says she is looking forward to “being a good resource for employees” and “helping them develop their potential.”
We here at Habitat are also very excited to welcome Sarah Mansell, the newest Family Selection Specialist, to our staff. Her work here is helping to put deserving families in homes across Metro Denver. Read below to see what she likes most about her new job.
What is your history with Habitat? Sarah’s background is in human services and she says that she has always known about Habitat. “I really admired the mission,” she said.
What does the Family Selection Specialist do? Sarah is involved in everything from holding orientations and recruiting families to researching and marketing properties to selected families. Other parts of her job include writing proposal letters, working with the Selection Committee, talking to families and tracking the reasons they choose to accept or reject a property, doing home interviews and getting started on Habitat’s NRI project.
What is your favorite part about working at Habitat? Sarah is enjoying getting to meet new people and hearing their stories. She recently met with a family at the Globeville open house where she was able to explain Habitat’s homeownership process to them. “Watching it become real for them—like, ‘This is going to be our house’—was really cool,” Sarah said.
What are you looking forward to? Sarah can’t wait to see the family selection process run through a whole cycle, from orientation to dedication, so she can get a better picture of how it all works.
