About the Presenter
Facilitator – Kristina Johnson
Diversity bio: I was adopted from Seoul, South Korea, and have only a dim memory of the day I became a US citizen. My picture shows me chewing on a miniature U.S. flag, which my mom still has and treasures. Today, I am particularly pleased to help foster diversity awareness at the professional level, including Employee and Family’s diversity committee, as a diversity trainer, and with the local Society of Human Resources Management chapter, where I previously served as the diversity chair for 2 years.
Professional bio: Kristina is a workplace services consultant with Employee and Family Resources, and provides account management and professional training and consultation to EAP customers and stakeholders. Kristina obtained her psychology degree from Drake University in Des Moines, and holds both the Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) and Global Professional Human Resources (GPHR) certifications. Kristina’s background in human resources includes recruitment and retention, staff development, conducting internal investigations, unemployment hearings, and more. Particular subjects of interest include diversity, workplace violence/harassment/bullying, ethics, and behavioral-based interviewing. Kristina is a member of the national Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the 2010 president of Central Iowa SHRM, Iowa’s largest human resources chapter.
