I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lawrence in HR projects for several months. Lawrence is a proactive, responsible and skillful coworker to work with. He has got a passion in HR and he is always ready to put efforts and time to get the jobs done. I certainly miss working with him. Lawrence would definitely be a valuable asset to the next organization he joins.
