• Monitor early indicators of attrition and help address engagement and retention risks.
• Partner with the wider HR team on engagement, well‑being, inclusion, psychological safety, and team‑building initiatives.
• Work closely with senior leadership to strengthen company culture, values, and the overall employee experience.
• Introduce practical tools and processes that improve HR workflows and support a self‑managing, remote team.
