• Support managers and department heads in performance management and employee evaluations.
• Drive employee engagement initiatives to foster a positive and productive work environment.
• Assist in HR reporting, analytics, and workforce planning to support business decisions.
• Manage HR documentation, contracts, and personnel records with confidentiality and accuracy.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor's Degree (Master’s Degree is a plus) in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 2 to 5 years of HR experience, preferably within the hospitality or hotel industry.
• Strong knowledge of Italian labor laws and HR best practices.
• Proven experience in recruitment, HR administration, and employee relations.
