• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with teams like Talent Acquisition, Finance, IT, and Legal to enhance the employee experience and ensure business-wide alignment on people initiatives.
• Stay Ahead of the Curve: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of HR trends, employment legislation, and best practices. Use this expertise to proactively suggest improvements that enhance Solink’s culture, compliance, and impact.
• Facilitate Learning & Communication: Deliver training sessions, presentations, and workshops to educate leaders and reinforce people strategies across the organization.
