Joseph Bruce has been named acting human resources vice president for the Postal Service.
He succeeds Simon Storey, who retired Sept. 30.
Bruce previously was national human resources senior director, responsible for the organization’s hiring and selection policy; the Human Resources Shared Service Center in Greensboro, NC; and human resources activities for all headquarters and headquarters-related facilities.
He has been with the Postal Service since 1996, first as a paralegal specialist and then moving into several human resources positions, including corporate personnel management manager, national diversity initiatives manager, equal employment opportunity field operations manager and equal employment opportunity compliance and appeals manager for the former Eastern Area.
Bruce “continues to play a key role in driving one of our core objectives of improving our hiring processes and updating existing national human resources policy,” Postmaster General Louis DeJoy wrote in a memo announcing the appointment.
