Eric Garcia, PHR

Eric M. Garcia is a seasoned Human Resources leader with over a decade of experience driving strategic HR initiatives and building high-performing workplace cultures. As a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR) through HRCI, Eric brings deep expertise in HR compliance, employee relations, talent development, and organizational leadership.

Throughout his career, Eric has led transformative initiatives that align HR operations with business goals. Notably, he successfully consolidated three disparate HRIS systems into a single, integrated platform—streamlining workflows, reducing administrative overhead, and significantly improving departmental efficiency. This initiative not only optimized operations but also empowered HR teams with faster access to critical data and reporting tools.

Eric is also a champion for progressive people strategies. He implemented the Discipline Without Punishment methodology—an evidence-based approach that fosters accountability while preserving dignity and trust. This strategy has proven instrumental in turning around underperforming employees and cultivating a more respectful, results-driven culture.

Committed to safety and leadership development, Eric introduced the STOP for Supervision Safety Program, a powerful training initiative that equips leaders with the tools to proactively observe, engage, and correct unsafe behaviors. This program has played a critical role in enhancing workplace safety and reinforcing a culture of shared responsibility.

"I’m big on transparency, accountability, and making sure HR is a true partner to both leadership and staff.  My goal is always to help the organization run smoother while keeping people at the center of it all."
