  • Administer employee benefits, including enrollment, changes, and employee questions
  • Help communicate total rewards information clearly and consistently to employees
  • Assist with the annual merit and review cycle, helping bring structure and consistency to compensation decisions

HR Operations, Compliance & Process

  • Maintain accurate, compliant employee records and personnel files
  • Stay current on applicable employment law and ensure company policies and practices remain compliant
  • Support performance management processes, including documentation and manager guidance
  • Assist with basic leadership/manager training and development initiatives as programs are introduced
