Meet Amanda Miranda, Employee Relations Senior Director at Walgreens - Seite 2

My team ensures HR policies give team members a voice in the organization and support positive relations between team members and supervisors. These rules and laws protect employees' rights and hold parties accountable to create a positive work environment.

Collaboration is so important, and I have the most amazing team. We allow each other to be ourselves while still supporting one another in the emotionally taxing work we do. They keep me grounded and humble, and I would have never applied for a promotion if it wasn't for their constant support and encouragement. The employee relations team has seen my personal and professional growth throughout the years, and my goal is to make them proud. Being part of the employee relations team is the biggest honor of my career.

In the evening I do all the parental duties for my two kids, ages 15 and 17, and my Pitbull named Blue, ensuring they are all fed and my kids' schoolwork is done. Blue was in the shelter for almost a year and has signs of abuse. Taking a chance on him was the best decision my family has made. He is the baby of the house.

Then I unwind by watching TV or spending time on TikTok. I don't create TikTok content, but I like to know what's trending. Since I'm a fan of movies with a strong female lead, I loved seeing the "Barbie" movie this summer!

Before bed, I do my nightly beauty self-care routine. It feels so good to end the day listening to some good music while exfoliating and putting on my facial retinol, serums and moisturizer.

My passion for furthering Latino representation

As a queer Latina, I became involved with the Walgreens Latino Professionals and Pride Alliance business resource groups (BRGs). I'm currently serving as the vice chair of Walgreens Latino professionals.

I joined the board of Latino Professionals because I feel that the Latino community is an underrepresented workforce in corporate America. Latinos have a reputation for being hard workers and make up about 18% of the U.S. workforce, yet only about 4% reach senior executive roles. Latinos are more than just entry-level workers and can provide more than just translation services. We are excellent leaders and deserve a seat at the table. This BRG gives the perfect platform to support these efforts.
