- Review employee relations matters, disciplinary actions, and proposed terminations to identify potential legal or organizational risks, provide thoughtful recommendations, and help leadership make informed decisions while recognizing operational ownership of personnel decisions.
- Oversee the administration and continuous improvement of company HR programs, including benefits administration, leave management, workers' compensation, policy development, compliance initiatives, and employee communications.
- Develop practical tools, resources, and training that strengthen leadership capability, improve manager confidence, and promote consistent HR practices throughout the organization.
