‘Face of DHR’ Retiring

If you've started working for the County in the past 20 years, there's a good chance you've met Human Resources Assistant Jeanne Peoples. She’s been at the front desk of the Department of Human Resources helping hopefuls with applications and candidates with background checks since 1997. She’s that friendly face that welcomed you into the County.

HR Analyst Lisa McAvoy-Grover said Peoples originally came in to interview for another position, but the Department of Human Resources recognized she would be great working with both the public and employees.

The hiring manager was “so impressed with her demeanor and people skills,” said McAvoy-Grover. “She was assigned to the front counter and has thrived there ever since then.”

It’s even in her name. Peoples is a people person. Known as the “customer service queen,” she’s won countless customer service awards and accolades over the past two decades.
