- Providing clear, visible leadership - setting expectations and holding the team accountable for delivery
- Coaching and developing supervisors, foremen and future leaders
- Building a culture where problems are raised early and standards are understood
Performance management & HR
- Managing attendance, timekeeping, conduct and performance
- Leading performance conversations, agreeing and following through on improvement actions
- Supporting fact-finding, investigations, probation, absence, disciplinary and grievance processes
