- Develop and manage project plans, timelines, and action trackers to ensure activity is delivered effectively and on schedule.
- Support and facilitate individual and collective consultation processes.
- Conduct employee consultation meetings and provide guidance to operational leaders throughout the process.
- Prepare and manage all associated documentation including consultation materials, correspondence, meeting records, and outcome communications.
- Ensure compliance with employment legislation, internal policies, and best practice throughout change processes.
- Escalate complex or high-risk cases appropriately while providing pragmatic solutions wherever possible.
