- Support managers through the performance-management cycle - goal setting, reviews, feedback, and performance plans - with appropriate follow-up and documentation
- Training & Manager Development
- Facilitate HR-led training, including compliance training and manager-effectiveness programs, and provide ongoing coaching that builds manager capability and confidence
- Identify capability gaps and help develop training materials, manager resources, and HR communications
- Talent & Organizational Support
- Partner with leaders and Talent Acquisition on staffing needs, onboarding, and employee engagement, retention, and career-development initiatives
- Support organizational changes and change management, and collaborate across HR and Shared Services to provide a consistent, connected experience
