• Manage employee relations topics end‑to‑end (e.g., performance improvement, grievances, disciplinaries, investigations and exits), ensuring appropriate documentation and timely resolution.

Talent, performance & leadership capability

• Partner with hiring managers and Talent Acquisition to deliver workforce planning and recruitment aligned with business needs; support a high‑quality candidate and hiring manager experience.
• Enable managers to deliver strong performance through coaching, clear expectations and effective use of performance and talent processes (performance reviews, talent reviews, succession and career planning).
