His efforts to improve the effectiveness of Sierra’s hiring and retention practices contributed to a 50 percent reduction in cost and time to hire over the same period. As a result, 75 percent of all employees hired since 2000 remained employed at Sierra through 2002. While at Midland, Mr. Joyeau was responsible for managing six strategic and functional business teams on behalf of a large provider of provider and casualty insurance.
