Experience

Fidelity Investments - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I enjoyed building great relationships with all of our Associates, Business Managers, Directors, and Vice Presidents at Fidelity Investments. We have learned a great deal and worked quite effectively as a real team to successfully go "live" at our call center in July of 2008.

I also delivered "Client and Plan Training" on: 1) Specific/Nationwide Health and Insurance Plans, and 2) Customized Processes and Procedures. The clients I supported through these training projects included IBM, Bank of America, Kraft, Pfizer and General Motors (about 45 major clients in all). The "Annual Enrollment Training Program" is considered to be one of Fidelity''s biggest challenges each year. I (along with over 350 trainees) have completed four of these annual events at our site in Albuquerque. I assisted in the development of customized course materials and training for these call center associates. I provided similar training for Payroll and Pension.
