Employee Profile: Thomas F. Wood, Director, Human Resource Management Office
By Carolyn McKinney-Bobo
On October 16, 2006, Thomas F. Wood started in his new position as Director, Human Resource Management Office at the FAA Technical Center. In this capacity, he is responsible for advising and assisting the Technical Center managers in directing, coordinating, communicating, and ensuring the adequacy of FAA plans, programs and initiatives associated with: employment, compensation, human resources information and automation, learning and development, labor and employee relations, benefits, workplace environment and operational human resources services. His office services the following organizations: ATO-P, ATO-T, ATO-E, ATO-W, and all ACT (AJP-7) organizations at the Technical Center.
Tom previously served as Program Manager for the Labor and Employee Relations Program in the Human Resource Management Office at the Center for 16 years before his selection as Director. Prior to coming to the Technical Center, Tom served as Labor Management Specialist for the Department of the Navy, Civilian Personnel Management, Northeast Region for 6 years.
Tom’s vision for his organization is to become more of a strategic partner with the managers being serviced.
Tom mentioned that, in the very near future, all employee personnel folders would be electronic. He says it will be good for the employees because their files will be at their disposal for review at any time. He feels this will be a help to the HR office in that they will be able to get more into the consulting business for the management team and employees, as well, here at the Center.
The Technical Center management team and employees extend our congratulations to Tom, and wish him much success in his new position.
