• Demonstrated experience in employee relations, workforce changes, employee engagement, performance management, and stakeholder partnership.
• Working knowledge of Philippine labor standards and employee relations practices, supported by sound judgment, integrity, and conflict-resolution skills.
• Experience using workforce data and HR analytics; exposure to BPO, offshore staffing, outsourcing, shared services, or another high-volume people environment is highly preferred.

• Support Beyond Day 1: Our People & Culture and support teams stay involved beyond onboarding, providing day-to-day guidance, employee support, engagement and recognition throughout the employee experience.
