GLENDALE, Calif.––Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) ihas named Armine Muradyan, MBA/HRM, as its newest Vice President of Human Resources (HR). Muradyan joins LAFCU with more than 20 years of HR management experience, serving as generalist and manager for a variety of industries including Avibank Manufacturing, Rogerson Aircraft Corporation and Tenet Healthcare. In her new role, Muradyan will be responsible for the leadership of the credit union’s HR department overseeing employee benefits, compensation, payroll, staffing and training.
Muradyan was previously HR director for REM Eyewear, a Sun Valley-based eyewear distributor, for 11 years, where she set up and built a human resources department from the ground up. After establishing the department, Muradyan then went on to save the company thousands of dollars by streamlining and automating HR and payroll processes, significantly reducing the workers’ compensation rate and introducing Fun Fridays to boost employee morale. She plans to make similar positive changes in her new position at LAFCU.
“I will be working on policies and procedures in human resources that are consistent with the credit union’s overall business goals and objectives,” Muradyan stated. “I want to create an open door culture in the human resources department, introduce Fun Fridays for all branches, streamline ADP payroll, go green and paperless, and automate HR tasks as much as possible.”
In addition to her professional experience, Muradyan has earned an MBA in Human Resources Management from the University of Phoenix and a Human Resources Management Certificate from the California State University, Northridge.
