This is a fantastic opportunity to manage employee relations from a very proactive, impactful position.

• Using transformational justice practices to clearly outline resolution options and guide parties through the process.
• Recommending resources and support tools for parties going through a resolution.
• Implementing early resolution approaches such as facilitated conversations, mediation, and coaching.
• Coach and support managers, enabling them, to effectively manage their people by providing expert advice and consultancy in relation to performance and absence management.

You will also develop an understanding of business areas and using insight, information and intelligence, assist managers in appropriate tactical people interventions.
