The Kenton County Public Library is pleased to announce the appointment of Rachel Tobin as its new Director of Human Resources. Tobin brings 25 years of human resources leadership experience in both the public and private sectors, including manufacturing, public housing, construction and government consulting.
Before her career in HR, Tobin spent a decade in administrative and operations management within the commercial real estate development and cable television industries. Her diverse background includes HR leadership roles in organizations such as Ball Corporation, Kohler, Mohawk Industries, Greif, City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing and G & H International Services, Inc. She has worked for companies spanning small businesses to large-scale operations, including unionized and fully remote environments.
Throughout her career, Tobin has managed all aspects of the employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to employee development, engagement, retention and retirement. She specializes in building strong employee relations, aligning HR strategies with organizational goals and fostering collaborative and positive workplace cultures.
“I’m passionate about supporting employees, streamlining processes and helping teams grow and succeed,” Tobin said. “I look forward to getting to know each member of the KCPL team and working together to support the Library’s mission and people.”
