What You'll Be Doing
- For the U.S. Benefits/Policies, your focus will be on managing the U.S. HR Benefits/Policies & compliance for currently 30+ employees across 20+ states. It’s important for us to offer top tier, competitive benefits, and from an employer branding perspective, we want to make sure to showcase it both internally to employees and externally to candidates.
- Sample US Benefits/Policies projects include ensuring U.S. Handbook is updated with legal compliance across federal and state guidelines (other examples: 401K, healthcare, harassment training, visa and relocation, employer branding, etc.)Once we’ve established best in class U.S. Benefits/Policies, this role will expand to include more HRBP and Employee Lifecycle/Engagement responsibilities.
- For HRBP, the focus will be on general HRBP duties for our Business teams and building trust with stakeholders. Sample HRBP projects include Performance Management (promotion recommendations, PIP, terminations), Leveling Framework improvements, Manager/Employee training and development, internal communication and rollout of new policies.
- For Employee Lifecycle/Engagement:the focus will be on program managing several initiatives to ensure employees are engaged and continue to develop. Sample Employee Lifecycle/Engagement projects include Team Offsites, rollout and analysis of bi-annual Employee Engagement Surveys, rolling out OKRs.
