Job description

Description

Build relationships. Solve problems. Make an impact.

Are you an HR professional who enjoys variety and wants to be more than a behind-the-scenes administrator?

BAPI is looking for an HR Generalist II to join our Human Resources team in Gays Mills, Wisconsin. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working directly with employees and leaders, tackling new challenges, and contributing across nearly every area of HR.

From recruiting our next great team member to helping an employee navigate benefits, coaching leaders through employee relations situations, coordinating engagement initiatives, and supporting HR compliance, no two days will look exactly the same.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Own key benefit programs including benefits administration, Open Enrollment, FMLA/LOA, workers' compensation, and employee benefit communications.
• Recruit great people by sourcing and screening candidates, coordinating interviews, supporting hiring decisions, and building relationships with schools, career fairs, community partners, and other recruiting resources.
• Create a great employee experience by leading employee engagement, recognition, wellness activities, events, and assigned employee committees.
• Be a trusted HR resource by listening to employee concerns, supporting workplace investigations, recommending solutions, and helping managers navigate sensitive employee relations situations.
• Support HR compliance through policies, procedures, EEO responsibilities, reasonable accommodations, unemployment matters, recordkeeping, and other federal, state, and local HR requirements.
• Turn HR data into useful information by compiling HR metrics and meaningful data for leadership.
• Help others grow by contributing to training and development initiatives and mentoring HR interns and newer HR team members.
• Keep improving HR by identifying better processes, using HR technology effectively, working with vendors, and contributing to special projects.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who combines solid HR knowledge with good judgment, initiative, and strong people skills.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

• Like being the person others can turn to for HR guidance
• Enjoy both the people side and operational side of HR
• Can shift comfortably from recruiting to benefits to employee relations in the same day
• Take initiative and don't need step-by-step direction
• Are comfortable handling sensitive situations with professionalism and discretion
• Look for solutions rather than simply identifying problems
• Enjoy working collaboratively while still being trusted to own your responsibilities

The formal position is designed to operate with minimal direction and to provide guidance, leadership, and training to other employees without having direct supervisory responsibility.

Requirements

Work Environment

This position is based in Gays Mills, Wisconsin, working in a standard office and light-manufacturing environment. Domestic travel may occasionally be required.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree, preferably in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, Organizational Development, or a related field
• At least 2 years of Human Resources experience
• Experience with employee relations
• Working knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws
• Experience with recruitment and onboarding
• Experience with benefits administration and payroll
• Experience supporting training and development
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail
• Ability to handle confidential information appropriately
• Professional written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work respectfully and collaboratively with employees, leaders, vendors, and other partners

Even better if you have:

• PHR or SHRM-CP certification
• Experience using Paylocity
