Beverly Taylor and I worked together at the corporate offices of the Elephant Bar Restaurant for several years. During that time, there were many overlapping human resource and risk management issues. She single-handedly started the very successful risk management program at the Elephant Bar. Regardless of the problem, Beverly did thorough research and gave well constructed solutions to all issues for which she was responsible. She was incredibly detail-oriented and forward-thinking and always kept the company's success top of mind. I am proud to have worked with her in the past and would jump at the chance to work with her again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Beverly Taylor during my tenure with Elephant Bar Restaurants in her capacity of Manager of Risk Management. As a veteran of the Hospitality Industry for over twenty years, I have appreciated Beverly’s immense knowledge, practical skills, and “big picture” comprehension of her critical profession as it relates to the real world of restaurant execution. She is tenacious yet understanding, patient when appropriate, and has demonstrated unrivaled follow through. In the increasingly caustic and often contentious arena of worker’s comp and general liability, she maintains steadfast professionalism yet has an endearing sense of humor that allows her to demonstrate a balanced perspective.

In her capacity of Director of Risk Management, Ms. Taylor leveraged her practical work experience and education in the fields of Human Resources and Risk Management to develop, implement and audit the integrity of various human resource and risk management initiatives, including: Employee Handbook, Standard Operating Guidelines, Safety Manual, Risk Management Policy Statement, Incident Chargeback Program, Triage Network, Return to Work Program, Enterprise-wide Safety Supplies Contract and Incident Tracking and Analysis Programs. Ms. Taylor successfully interacted with corporate-level and field management, gaining their trust and confidence, as well as that of hourly staff, which led to a dramatic reduction in her employer’s overall cost of risk. She is an accomplished management professional and specifically in the areas of human resource and risk management.
