Dave Milsom
Title: Human Resources Records Supervisor.
Duties: To oversee the processing and organizing of Scripps Research
personnel records. "We process several hundred record changes each week,
including new hires, retirements, promotions, address changes, benefits
changes...."
Started at Scripps Research: November 2003. "Luckily, Marilyn
Gutierrez had several months to teach me the intricacies of the system
before she retired."
Goals: To streamline record keeping while maintaining the flexibility
to respond to special circumstances. Also, to take advantage of technology.
"I'll be looking at the possibility of moving to an employee self-service
online system for entries such as address changes."
Background: B.A. in International Relations from the University
of Delaware. Jobs in the record industry before a position as Human Resources
information systems analyst for Seagram/Vivendi Universal in New York.
Favorite Part of the Job: "I enjoy working with data. I also
appreciate the atmosphere at Scripps. The people are great and everyone
seems happy to be here."
Moved to San Diego: September 2003. "The weather in San Diego
is terrific, but I'm still getting used to the slower pace of life after
New York City."
Extracurriculars: Making home recordings and playing in bands
(guitar, drums, bass). Training for marathons (he's run the New York Marathon
twice) and, more recently, trail running. Spending time with his girlfriend,
Laura, and 13-year-old cat, Foot-foot.
