Servicon Systems Inc., a provider of healthful and sustainable maintenance services for aerospace, military, commercial, public and institutional facilities, has named Robert Harrelson as Servicon’s new Chief People Officer; Neil Bernstein as Director of Strategic Accounts; and Christian Cebrero as Benefits Coordinator. The three new hires are highly experienced in their fields of expertise, and each brings particular strengths to the Servicon team.
 
“We are delighted to welcome Rob, Neil and Christian to Servicon Systems, and we feel lucky to have identified three industry veterans to help us continue to expand our company and our client services,” said Servicon President and CEO Laurie Sewell. “This is an exciting time for the company, as we add accounts in western states in addition to California, and our new colleagues will help support Servicon’s business, personnel and operational expansion with their advanced management skills,” she added.
 
The new hires will also promote and further Servicon’s company values. The company’s innovative practices make a measurable difference in performance, cleanliness, and ROI, with an emphasis on “building wellness” that protects the health of the occupants of a facility. To that end, Servicon is always building its workforce’s knowledge and capabilities, and identifying and developing employee talent. The company is focused on employee training, and established a professional certification program for custodial employees and their managers. Servicon also pioneered “green cleaning,” and is today a leading provider of sustainable maintenance services for more than 100 million square feet of aerospace, military, commercial, public and institutional facilities nationwide.
 
Robert Harrelson is a former vice president of human resources for Aramark Food Services, where he oversaw human resources throughout the Pacific Northwest. Rob has broad and deep experience including talent acquisition, leadership development, compensation/benefits, performance management, succession planning, diversity and employee relations. As Servicon’s Chief People Officer, Rob will champion the recruitment, engagement, development, and retention of talent.  Rob will manage the HR department and oversee all HR functions, including employee relations, conflict resolution, performance management, employee training and development and on-boarding, recruitment and talent acquisition, payroll administration, and benefits administration. Most importantly, Rob will be leading his team in Servicon’s key optimizing strategy, “Get, Engage and Keep Great People!” Through his leadership in the development and delivery of the company’s training programs, he will have tremendous impact on every Servicon employee, and will ensure that every member of the team is treated with the utmost integrity and respect.
He will still have time for his athletic and community activities, too: this summer, Rob was a volunteer Cross-Fit Master Coach/Trainer for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles.

Neil Bernstein, Servicon’s new Director of Strategic Accounts, will focus on prospecting new, qualified accounts for the company’s pipeline to help achieve its expansion goals. Neil will also be responsible for developing and executing the sales plans for the large, complex sales opportunities that require a strategic team approach.  Neil’s experience in the janitorial and supply industry will add tremendous value to the firm. He brings a deep knowledge of the competition and will provide a highly effective sales presence to Servicon’s aerospace, Industrial and single-tenant sectors.
