CHRO Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Chief Human Resources Officer with 12 years of HR experience in healthcare settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently the CHRO at Sunnybank Health, where I lead a team of 12 specialists across 2 sites. As the first CHRO, I designed and executed a coherent HR strategy, specifically targeting organization development, performance management, succession planning, learning and development, compensation, and change management. I passionately advocate for staff needs as a member of the executive team, and ensure HR policies & procedures are clearly articulated to all 750 employees. A clear success indicator is the result of the employee satisfaction survey I implemented organization-wide: 89% of employees rated HR as excellent after I came on board 2 years ago.

This builds upon my earlier experiences as a Compensation & Benefits Specialist at Randall Healthcare and HR Manager at Bluestone Hospitals, where my workforce planning, staff retention, and internal equity initiatives have had a strong impact on revenue and employee satisfaction.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of HR Management and am a member of SHRM. I possess in-depth knowledge of legal requirements related to day-to-day people management, legal risks, and regulatory compliance. I have extensive expertise in counselling management on employee relations, analyzing HR trends, and implementing robust solutions, programs, and policies.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Marc Parker
