Secondary Responsibilities – Generalist Support (in collaboration with Divisional HR Manager)

• Assist in onboarding processes, including new hire orientations and employee setup
• Support performance review processes and training coordination
• Help maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with HR policies
• Provide occasional backup on employee relations, benefits questions, or compliance matters as directed

• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and organizational skills
• Ability to manage competing priorities with a sense of urgency
