Shawn Covarrubias, AIF® serves as our VP of Client Services and was honored for the Distinguished Leaders – Human Resources Award in Orange County Business Journal. This award is designed to recognize HR executives who had to navigate a new office environment over the last two years while maintaining corporate culture with staff.

Here is an excerpt of the nomination:

To relieve the transition of working remotely, Apriem covered staff utility bills and fuel. She carries out the Apriem way in the onboarding process following our coined “3-CPO” method, analyzing for “Character, Competence, Credibility, Passion, and Ohana (Family).””
