Jessica has secured her second consecutive HR Superstar award, marking another year of well-deserved recognition for her contributions. As People Operations & Recruiting Director, Jessica seeks to continuously improve processes and innovate solutions to help our colleagues. Moreover, she leads her team with compassion and integrity. From improving the employee experience to boosting process automation, Jessica’s passion for efficiency has continued to shine since she joined Pontoon in 2016.

Pontoon’s HR Team – HRO Today’s HR Team of the Year 2023

We’re also proud to share that Pontoon’s HR team has been awarded HR Team of the Year in the “Provider” category. Our team is dedicated to upskilling the workforce while nurturing a continuous culture of growth and goal-driven outcomes. In 2023, they reinvented our learning and development programme.

Learning Reimagined took our existing “hours to target” learning approach and amplified its significance by having colleagues complete a “year-end goal”. This change empowered Pontoon’s employees to rethink their learning and tie the outcomes back to everyday work improvements and client impacts.

Through a new learning portal and dedicated communication structure, Pontoon’s HR team successfully invited everyone to set learning goals and identify opportunities. Colleagues implemented specific changes in their daily work habits. More than that, they measured the impact of transformed behaviour to ascertain the achievement of their goals.

In receiving the HRO Today Association Award, Pontoon’s HR team reaffirms its commitment to driving positive change. They want to create an environment where continuous learning propels colleagues toward excellence.
