  • 🎉 A huge congratulations to our very own Laura Capps, SPHR on being named one of the Houston Business Journal HR Leaders of the Year! There are many reasons why she was nominated by our Jersey Village staff, but we'd like to highlight just one. Laura's instrumental role in forming an employee engagement committee directly contributed to the city being honored as a 2022 and 2024 Houston Chronicle Top Workplace. This accolade reflects significant strides in fostering a culture of engagement and satisfaction among staff—an achievement that stands out given the typical challenges in securing staff buy-in within small municipal settings. Under Laura's guidance, the committee has improved staff engagement, showcasing her exceptional leadership and deep understanding of employee motivation and involvement. Thank you, Laura, for your dedication and for making Jersey Village a better place to work! 👏 #Leadership #HRLeader #TopWorkplace #EmployeeEngagement
