5. Collect and analyze ER data for metrics reporting, identify trends, and recommend data-driven process improvements.
6. Build and implement ER process improvements based on best practices, deploying them within the global ER team and to stakeholders.
7. Support ER/HR enablement training through designing and delivering presentations.
8. Work on special projects such as ER system implementation, affirmative action reporting, and training delivery.
