Guide high-judgment decisions impacting people, performance, and culture. Provide oversight on investigations, corrective actions, and employee relations matters, serving as final decision-maker on high-risk decisions including terminations involving potential discrimination, retaliation, for business leaders. Serve as primary escalation point for complex issues, partnering with Regional PXT, Legal, and Employee Relations teams.
