You will bridge global strategy and local needs, ensuring policies are: ✔ Legal and organisationally sound ✔ Practical, adoptable, and maintainable
Key Responsibilities:
- Support people-related aspects of entity setup, integration, or structural change.
- Assess worldwide current states and identify gaps in policies, processes, and employment arrangements.
- Provide local insight and context in global design decisions.
- Support change impact assessments, advise on engagement and consultation strategies, and execute these processes.
- Develop clear communications, manager guidance, and employee support materials.
- Collaborate with Reward, Policy, HR systems, and external advisors to convert requirements into actionable outputs.
- Oversee implementation and ensure a smooth handover into business-as-usual operations.
