Brandi Babando, RPR
MORE THAN JUST JOB SATISFACTION
In 1997, Brandi Babando left New Brunswick and moved to Nova Scotia to be with her fiancé. At that time Brandi joined the Downeast Communications team and realized her passion was in employee relations.
Brandi then made the decision to return to school after realizing that Human Resources was for her. Brandi attended Saint Mary’s University and started her upgrading.

While at DownEast Communications, Brandi has held many different positions. Downeast is one of the largest retailers of communications equipment in the Atlantic Provinces. It has over 45 retail locations with over 300 hundred of employees. This company sells cellular, data devices, two-way radio, pagers, landline phones, Bell Express Vu satellite television and satellite phones.
Purchased by a private owner in 1991, DownEast Communications was then purchased by Aliant in 2004 and subsequently by Bell in 2006. This, combined with constantly changing promotions and products, has kept Brandi and her fellow employees facing numerous changes.
But change has always been an ongoing part of the DownEast Communications culture and the employees embrace it. Brandi originally joined thinking that she would work in sales as a short term solution while she decided what field she wanted to pursue educationally. After 4 and half years she moved into the Operations Department and then into her current position as a Human Resources Generalist. Brandi never stops; she is responsible for aspects of compensation, employee wear, recruitment, employment equity, occupational health and safety and performance management, to name a few responsibilities.
In her “spare” time she continues to attend Saint Mary’s as well as the Nova Scotia Community College. She plans to continue her education endeavors and is considering adding a degree in education to her repertoire. Brandi is also an active member of the Regional Executive for IPM Associations Maritime Chapter in Halifax.
But that’s not all, she does have a life outside of work and school – she enjoys gemology and spending time with her family – as well as having taken the plunge into home ownership.
