- Provide expert advice across the full employee lifecycle
- Support complex cases including performance, absence, change, and employee relations
- Develop and evolve policies that are modern, inclusive and legally compliant
- Work with the Talent & OD Partner to support recruitment, succession and workforce planning
- Identify capability gaps and shape development solutions
- Support initiatives that improve engagement, wellbeing and culture
