Riverbat Faculty and Staff,
HR Managing Director Elma Benavides and I are thrilled to announce Alisol Martinez as our inaugural Employment Operations Manager. This week marks her first week in the position formerly held by Erica Breedlove, who is criss-crossing campuses as our new Business Partner for the North Region.
As the Employment Operations Manager, Alisol will play a vital role in our ongoing efforts to optimize the Recruit-to-Hire (R2H) process at ACC. In her new position, Alisol will aim to deliver a streamlined, efficient hiring process that meets the needs of our ACC community. After a 90-day observation and onboarding period in the new role, Alisol will work with the HR Extended Leadership Team (HR supervisors and Business Partners) to connect the people and processes who are currently on separate teams: Compensation and Employment. By strategically combining these teams into one Employment Operations team, we aim to streamline the end-to-end management of our hiring process.
Acting with our hiring manager in mind, the Employment Operations team will focus on precision, speed, and clarity of processes. Alisol will be responsible for optimizing workflows within and beyond Workday, and ensuring that our recruitment and onboarding practices align with ACC’s strategic goals. As the upcoming Compensation & Classification Study yields recommendations on modernizing our compensation processes, Alisol will lead the Employment Operations team in the implementation of any changes determined by Chancellor Lowery-Hart and his Executive Cabinet.
Alisol brings a wealth of experience in HR operations, having previously excelled in her role as HR Benefits Manager. Alisol’s deep understanding and track record of people-centric processes, team leadership, problem-solving, systems optimization, and collaboration across departments make her the perfect fit for this new and critical position.
In collaboration with HR Business Partners, hiring managers, and other stakeholders, Alisol will work to ensure that our hiring processes are not only efficient but also inclusive and supportive of our diverse community. Her leadership will be key in achieving our goal to have vacancies filled within an average of 30 days by the end of 2026 (with significant improvements to the hiring experience along the way).
As we continue to evolve and enhance our HR operations, we are confident that Alisol’s leadership will drive meaningful improvements that benefit both our employees and the College as a whole. Please join us in welcoming Alisol to her new role as Employment Operations Manager and in supporting her as she leads us into this exciting new chapter of HR excellence.
Regards,
Kelly Torrico
Vice Chancellor, Human Resources
