• Develop employee training, coaching, and leadership development programs
• Support supervisors with performance management and employee relations
• Conduct investigations and assist with conflict resolution
• Maintain personnel files, HR records, and compliance documentation
• Administer benefits and support open enrollment
• Build and improve HR systems, processes, and company policies
• Partner with leadership to improve employee retention and organizational performance
