(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – owner and operator of golf courses in 25 states – has promoted Katie Barongan to Vice President of Human Resources with oversight of BCG benefits, payroll, employment law and employee relations.
Starting with BCG in 2002 as Human Resources Director, Barongan has steadily assumed more responsibility in a critically important area within the company, and has played a key role in the planning and execution of the HR functions to support BCG’s dynamic growth. She implemented a new company-wide payroll system, negotiated healthcare policies, introduced 401K programs and created online employee-benefits tools for BCG’s 5,000-plus employees nationwide. Barongan also conducts employee orientations and labor-law seminars at BCG properties.
“Katie continues to be integral in Billy Casper Golf’s continued growth and success,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “We focus on attracting top talent, cultivating them into even higher performers and promoting from within.”
“Managing golf facilities, Billy Casper Golf is heavily in the staffing business,” says Barongan. “It’s imperative to give employees the proper training, motivation and back-of-the house support to make them even better contributors.”
Barongan, a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources, was a corporate recruiter and staffing manager for Fortune 500 companies prior to joining BCG.
BCG turnkeys all aspects of golf course and property maintenance, staffing and training, clubhouse operations, food-and-beverage, merchandising, golf instruction, marketing and public relations, special events and financial management.
