• Performance management, training and development — Run the performance and probationary review cycles, coach managers on applying them, oversee orientation and training programs, and assess promotions, transfers and other personnel actions.

• Employee engagement, recognition and culture — Develop and carry out engagement, retention and recognition programs, and act on the underlying causes behind turnover and employee feedback.

• Compliance and people risk — Ensure compliance with the Labor Code, DOLE regulations and statutory requirements; maintain audit‑ready records and elevate people‑related risks promptly.

• Office administration and workplace safety — Oversee office operations, vendors and facilities, workplace safety and OSH compliance, and business continuity arrangements.

• Reporting, improvement and team leadership — Provide timely HR reports and insights to management, lead and develop the HR team, and improve HR processes, SOPs and reporting.
