00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:07.540
5-4-3-2-1

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:08.700
HR is go.

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:15.879
We're here to take care of the people.

00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:22.020
Human beings are amazing and we are created
to do wonderful, amazing things.

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:28.520
Our focus as Human Resource Directorate is
to recruit and retain the brightest individuals

00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:29.960
across the nation.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:35.890
What we do is hire the right people for the
right job to get the work done.

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.780
Not everyone can do what we do.

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:41.379
No other agency is trying to go to Mars or
do something so exciting.

00:00:41.379 --> 00:00:45.559
We have to make sure that we're stronger,
better, faster, but with less resources.

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:50.380
If anything, I think HR can feel the most
pressure out of all, right, to ensure that

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:54.730
everybody is at the right place at the right
time with right skills, along with understanding

00:00:54.730 --> 00:00:56.200
the limitations that we have.

00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.250
Really what we're focused on is on the health
of the organization as a whole.

00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:04.089
Do the people that we have here, do they have
the right skills?

00:01:04.089 --> 00:01:05.720
Do we need to train them?

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:07.820
What time does it take to train someone?

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:14.360
It really falls back on us to understand what
the needs are, of where the mission is going

00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:16.520
and where our workforce is at.

00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:21.640
We're always looking for ways to make sure
we are taking care of our customer, we are

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.450
taking care of the KSC workforce.

00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:29.500
What's going to make them happy, what's going
to help them have fun so that when they go

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:31.470
back to their job, they feel refreshed.

00:01:31.470 --> 00:01:36.720
If you don't establish a culture within your
organization, there's going to be a culture

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:39.810
that gets developed and it may not be a culture
that you actually want.

00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:43.310
We assess how the organization is doing at
different levels.

00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:47.930
Sometimes you tweak different things with
people - the ones that are actually doing

00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:51.240
the work - and amazing things happen.

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:54.540
It's very important for every employee to
feel included.

00:01:54.540 --> 00:02:02.119
Inclusion and diversity of individuals with
a variety of backgrounds just brings a variety

00:02:02.119 --> 00:02:03.119
of ideas.

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.220
We try to listen, come up with solutions to
the problems.

00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:12.840
We collaborate with supervisors, with managers.

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:20.280
Being able to step into a situation and you
know help resolve, or help address, help advance

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:26.900
whatever is going on for our customers in
a way that's going to leave them validated,

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:31.820
right, or leave them in a better place than
where they were before.

00:02:31.820 --> 00:02:37.310
I think our workforce is always looking for...
how do we get to that next level?

00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:41.730
It's a constant churn, so what do we do next,
how do we do this?

00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:45.260
Right now we're really pushing to Mars, but
we don't have anyone who's actually done

00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:46.260
this.

00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:49.880
So a lot of our managers are looking for,
one, people who are motivated, but also people

00:02:49.880 --> 00:02:50.940
who are very innovative.

00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:55.810
You have to be committed to doing a good job
to work here.

00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:59.709
NASA is still the number one place to work
for in the federal government.

00:02:59.709 --> 00:03:04.130
NASA's made a name for itself in the past
and I think that is going to continue.

00:03:04.130 --> 00:03:06.060
You know, we ultimately get things done.

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:11.669
The things that we are able to accomplish
here at Kennedy are remarkable.

00:03:11.669 --> 00:03:13.660
We're one big team.

00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:18.010
Not one person can send the SLS rocket or
spacecraft into outer space.

00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:23.260
I did not screw the bolt onto the rocket to
make it launch, but I still helped facilitate

00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:24.260
that.

00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:25.260
I am a piece of this history.

00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:30.920
I enabled that person to be here or made the
right strategies for that right person to

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:33.040
come here and do that work.

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:36.910
Right in our backyard we are creating the
future.

00:03:36.910 --> 00:03:39.230
They're counting on us to do something great.

00:03:39.230 --> 00:03:40.230
Anything's possible.

00:03:40.230 --> 00:03:41.010
The sky is not the limit.
