WHAT DOES THE DAY-TO-DAY LOOK LIKE?

• Strategic HR Management and Business Understanding: Partner with leaders to develop and implement HR strategies that align with and support business goals. Dive deep into your business units to gain a thorough understanding of their core objectives and key people priorities. Provide strategic input on organizational development and future workforce planning.
• Employee Relations: Serve as the primary point of contact for employees and managers, addressing concerns and resolving conflicts promptly while maintaining a human-centered approach. Ensure all employee relations activities comply with Federal labor laws and internal company policies. Conduct thorough investigations when necessary, offering guidance on best practices, and promoting a culture of open communication and trust within the organization.
• Change Management: Lead and support organizational change initiatives, including restructuring efforts, to ensure smooth transitions and minimize disruptions. Collaborate with leaders to develop and implement change management plans aligned with business objectives.
• Relationship Building: Cultivate and maintain strong, trusting relationships with employees, managers, and key stakeholders within your Business Unit. Actively engage with team members at all levels to understand their needs, concerns, and aspirations to enhance employee satisfaction and ensure alignment between HR initiatives and business goals.
• Continuous Improvement: Proactively recommend strategies to enhance and evolve the employee experience. Identify opportunities for improvement, analyze data to inform decisions, and implement initiatives that foster a positive and productive work environment.
• Leave of Absence Management: Oversee and manage leaves of absence, focusing on maternity and parental leave. Ensure all required paperwork is accurately completed and filed in a timely manner, maintaining compliance with legal requirements and company policies. Facilitate a smooth transition for employees before, during, and after their leave to promote a positive experience.
• Feedback Collection: Conduct interviews and focus groups, including exit interviews, stay interviews, and new hire interviews, to gather valuable insights from employees at different stages of their employment. Use this data to make informed recommendations to senior management, contributing to the development of strategies and initiatives that drive employee engagement, retention, and overall organizational effectiveness.
• HR Analytics and Reporting: Leverage HR metrics and data to inform decision-making and evaluate the effectiveness of HR initiatives. Prepare and present detailed data reports, analyzing trends and providing actionable recommendations.
• Compliance and Legislation: Ensure compliance with labour laws and company policies. Stay up to date with any changes in employment legislation and industry best practices, sharing them with the team to help make necessary updates or changes. Experience working with and applying the Canada Labour Code is considered a strong asset. Any experience working with US labour laws would be an added bonus!
