• Lead the company's performance‑management process and help managers establish clear expectations, provide meaningful feedback, and address performance issues promptly.
• Partner with leadership on compensation practices, annual compensation reviews, benefits strategy, succession planning, and organizational development.
• Ensure strategic payroll administration, compliance oversight, and cross‑departmental coordination between HR and Finance.
• Manage the relationship with the employee benefits broker to design cost‑effective, competitive, and compliant benefit offerings and oversee the overall execution of Hollman’s employee benefit programs.
• Oversee 401(k) plan operations, ensuring timely contributions, regulatory compliance, and smooth coordination between employees and financial providers.
