The middle of a pandemic may not seem like the optimal time to make a career move, but these six benefits pros have done just that, enhancing their resumes as well as the organizations they’ve joined.

Over the past year, many employers made adjustments to their workflow — switching to remote work, adding new benefits and recruiting new employees. Organizations hope these changes will help steer the company through the pandemic and drive them forward when it finally ends.

PRIDE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise that provides facility operations and maintenance services, custodial services, contract manufacturing, supply chain management and fulfillment services to public and private organizations nationwide. The company is also one to the top leaders in the country for hiring employees with disabilities.

PRIDE has hired Robert Hines, a vocational rehabilitation professional, as their workforce development director for the organization’s inclusive talent solutions business. In his role, Hines will grow and maintain partnerships to support the employment and training needs of businesses and people with disabilities, while providing leadership and strategy for the ITS line of business.
