Tesla's HR department is hit! The vice president of human resources leaves next week

Tesla's human resources department will take a hit next week, and valerie Capers Workman, the company's vice president of personnel, will resign for a new role at another company. Workman, who has been with Tesla since February 2019, shows her Position as Vice President of Human Resources at Tesla, the world's leading electric car company, ends at the end of this month.

According to Bloomberg, Workman will join employment agency Handshake next week as chief legal officer. Workman confirmed the change in an email to Bloomberg.

Workman was undoubtedly one of the most turbulent tenures in Tesla's history, where she served as vice president of personnel for less than two years. During this time as president, she handled several notable lawsuits, including those of Owen Diaz. Diaz won a hefty $137 million in damages in a racial discrimination case based on an incident at Tesla's Fremont plant, where he was employed by a subcontractor. In addition, Workman provided details about Tesla's handling of the outbreak situation in 2020 and the closure of the factory during the peak of the epidemic.

In an emailed statement to Bloomberg, Workman said: "With the support of really good colleagues, especially the personnel and legal teams, I am proud of what I have achieved at Tesla. She added that she was ready to "pass the baton in a better place than when I received it," and her time at the company made her "believe that I've done this at Tesla and implemented so many important programs for employees around the world." ”
