• Document process updates and improvements to enhance clarity, reduce errors, and support scalability.

HR Systems & Record Management

• Enter, update, and maintain employee data in HR systems with attention to accuracy and completeness.

• Troubleshoot basic system questions from employees and escalate technical issues appropriately.

• Support periodic HR system clean-ups and configuration updates in partnership with Global HR Operations.

Benefits, Leave & Employee Relations Support

• Assist employees with routine benefits questions and help navigate resources and self-service tools.

• Coordinate leave-related documentation and communication in partnership with the Total Rewards team.

• Provide first-level employee-relations support and escalate complex or manager-facing issues to HRBPs.

Continuous Improvement & Special Projects

• Identify opportunities to improve HR processes, documentation clarity, and the overall employee experience.
