Joy A. Batteen Recognized as 2017 Power Leader in Human Resources

Joy A. Batteen, director of Human Resources at Kaufman Rossin, has been named a 2017 Power Leader in Human Resources by the South Florida Business Journal (SFBJ).

A “Power Leader in Human Resources” mentors and counsels employees, scouts and hires exceptional candidates, and strengthens the company’s relationship with the community, according to the SFBJ. These leaders exemplify a company’s culture, in addition to paving the way for a positive working environment conducive to growth.

“I’m honored that the South Florida Business Journal has recognized me as a Power Leader in Human Resources for the second year in a row,” said Batteen, who also received the honor in 2016. “I strive to inspire our employees daily, and provide resources that enable them to put their best foot forward, succeed in their careers, and enjoy coming to work. I love being a part of Kaufman Rossin, and it is my goal to make sure our employees feel the same way. After all, joy at work is one of our core values!”

Batteen leads Kaufman Rossin’s human resources department and spearheads all recruiting efforts for the firm. She also oversees the firm’s wellness initiatives, which led Kaufman Rossin to win the “Best Health & Wellbeing Program” honor at the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce’s 2016 Excellence in HR Awards. Batteen is also a member of the Greater Miami Society for Human Resource Management.
