00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:12,790
My name is Lakeesha Flowers and I’m a Human
Resources Specialist here and as a Human Resources

2
00:00:12,790 --> 00:00:18,430
Specialist, I share the responsibility of
implementing an effective strategy for our

3
00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:19,430
workforce.

4
00:00:19,430 --> 00:00:23,000
And I play the part in bringing the right
people to the right positions to make sure

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,500
that we can get accomplished the work that
makes us successful in our mission.

6
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:30,680
What I really love about my job is the people.

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,980
We have incredibly talented and passionate
people.

8
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:40,110
And just to be a part of that and seeing how
we all come together and are successful in

9
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:45,680
completing our missions continuously is remarkable
and it’s inspiring to the people.

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,910
Because we’re in such a dynamic environment,
I think it’s so important that we have a

11
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:54,680
diverse workforce because with diversity comes
a variety of ideas, backgrounds, perspectives

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,360
and problems solving and when you have a variety
of mindsets approaching an issue then you’re

13
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,760
more productive in reaching the right solution
and mitigating any risks.

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:11,759
NASA has such a dynamic mission and we as
a Human Resources Office want to ensure that

15
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:16,220
we’re providing and supporting the Center
in getting the right mix of skill sets at

16
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:20,500
the right time and do as much as we can to
cultivate a workforce that’s going to be
