• Own our performance management process, including goal setting, review cycles, and calibration, and coach managers on setting expectations and giving effective feedback.
• Lead workforce planning by analyzing headcount, turnover, and future talent needs, and work with Talent Acquisition to turn those plans into hiring priorities.
• Advise leaders on organizational design, including structure, roles, and reporting relationships, and guide teams through change.
• Serve as a day-to-day employee relations resource for managers and employees, including coaching, conflict resolution, corrective action, and investigations as assigned, in partnership with the HR Manager.
