Key Responsibilities

• Serve as an embedded HR consultant in daily operations, partnering closely with site and business leaders to stabilize workforce performance through data-based insights and pragmatic solutions.
• Provide timely, high-volume, real-time issue resolution by being visible and accessible to employees and leaders (including on the shop floor) and by aligning actions to shift schedules, attendance, and safety/conduct needs.
• Deliver on-demand coaching, consultation, and data-based analysis to leaders with a strong focus on employee relations and risk mitigation (including investigations, discipline/corrective action, attendance management, and policy enforcement) and tight coordination with Legal and Employee Relations COEs as needed:
• Integrated Talent Management (workforce planning for coverage/continuity; retention and attrition control; talent reviews and development; DEI consultations; succession planning in partnership with Talent/Staffing)
• Employee Issue Management (investigations; discipline and corrective action; attendance management; policy interpretation and enforcement; compliance and legal needs; support in unionized and/or labor-sensitive environments)

• Total Rewards (annual compensation practices; recognition; and ad-hoc compensation support, including guidance during operational changes that affect pay practices)
• Manage and resolve individual cases through the AskHR platform and other channels, providing local HR expertise that prevents escalation, reduces grievances, and minimizes labor disruption.

• Participate in site projects and transformation initiatives, partnering with Talent Leads, HR Site Heads, HR Operations, and Focus Areas to implement people solutions that improve workforce stability (e.g., shift staffing, skill certification/bench depth, and continuity planning).
