Ms. Mikki Frost
City of Omaha Human Resources Department
January 11, 2015
Dear Ms. Frost:
It was a great pleasure to talk with you to today about the possibility of me serving on the City of
Omaha Personnel Board. I am forwarding my CV as requested. As my CV is primarily focused
on scholarly and academic achievements, I want to highlight my pre-university experience and
accomplishments.
Prior to joining UNO in 2007, I spent 20 ye&s as a Human Resources Director for a
manufacturing firm in northeast Ohio. When I started with the firm, we operate ee
`Manufacturing ilants. During my tenure,we made a number of acquisitions that increased our
holdings to a dozen manufacturing and design sites. I served as the HR subject matter expert
during due diligence and post-acquisition integration phases. Regrettably, I also have a good
deal of experience in plant closures and downsizing processes as we also experienced some
downturns in business along the way. I've also overseen green-field start up operations.
Approximately half of our facilities were organized by labor unions. I was a key member of a
management team who defeated a UAW union organizing attempt at our facility just outside of
Detroit, MI. I also served as a primary resource for the managers of our unionized plants when
they prepared for collective bargaining negotiations and arbitration proceedings. I compiled
financial and historical data to assist them in establishing negotiating terms. I also worked with
our union-free facilities in order to help them maintain that status.
I was a very active member of the SHRM professional chapter in my home county in Ohio and
served on the Board for a number of years. I maintain my professional connections by
participating in HRAM meetings and programs here in Omaha. I am certified by both HRCI and
SHRM. I was awarded the SHRM Award for Professional Excellence in 1998 by the national
association.
I have been fortunate to know Dr. Robert Mathis and since his retirement, I have taken over the
responsibility for writ ins his well-regarded Hum Resource Management textbook. I also work
on an ongoing basis with national S in the development of teaching materials and other
content that is available to educators.
I trust that my professional expertise and personal dedication and enthusiasm will provide the
City of Omaha with additional resources on the Personnel Board. I shall await further word from
you after you convey my credentials to the Mayor.
Kind regards,

Works in Progress
Eesley, D. & Meglich, P. Abusive supervision—How does size matter? This empirical study
builds on previous research we have conducted. We further investigate the particular
antecedents that lead to abusive supervision in large and small firms. We seek to
determine if different factors predict its occurrence based on firm size.
Meglich, P., Zupan,N., &Mihelic, K. What is the work experience like for first-time mothers
across the world? This empirical study will incorporate a cross-cultural perspective
utilizing data from USA, Slovenia, and India. The differences between the national
cultures, legal requirements, and customs will serve as the backdrop for investigating
how first-time mothers perceive their status at work and how these perceptions impact
their work performance and commitment to continued employment. A conceptual model
has been developed and data will be collected in 2016.
