• Engaging and connecting the workforce through daily field visits, timely responses to employee questions, reward and recognition initiatives, community relations activities, etc.
• Growing people. You will assist with strategies and tactics, to include leading training classes.
• Developing, interpreting, and applying policies to ensure compliance and shape culture.
• Preparing and interpreting metrics that enable informed decision-making and value creation. This would include analysis and plans related to turnover, compensation, onboarding, morale, etc.
