Human Resource Executive, a US publication that focusses on strategic issues in HR, has selected Mary Stoik Dymond, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, from Graebel as one of its top five Human Resource Executives for 2013.

This marks the first time that an executive from a global mobility management company has been selected.  Mary and other winners were honoured at a black-tie awards dinner at the Trustee Ballroom at Boston University on October 10, 2013. The evening event was sponsored by Monster.

According to David Shadovitz, Editor of Human Resource Executive, “The HR Executive of the Year award recognises human resource leaders who have made outstanding contributions to their organisations and who exemplify the increasingly strategic role of HR in business today.”

Mary was named a top five human resource executive for having transformed the human resource department at Graebel into an effective, employee-focussed team around the world.  Among the key factors that led to this honour was her creation and leadership of the company’s Well-Being Program. Mary has also been instrumental in the rapid deployment of country-specific policies along with the relocation or recruitment and training of the Company’s global workforce during its offshore expansion into Europe and Asia that began in 2008. 

Chief Executive Officer Bill Graebel remarked, “Mary’s extensive background in global workforce management and her vision has brought both immediate and lasting results in our quest for Graebel to become the undisputed employer and supplier of choice in global mobility.”

Mary joined Graebel in 2008.
