• Be the conscience of the business. Flag people risks early and propose pragmatic, fair solutions
• Support wellbeing programmes and ensure employees feel seen, heard, and valued
• Manage the UK Benefits
• Provide HR support for the UK payroll process, ensuring employee changes, new starters, leavers, benefits, absence and other payroll inputs are accurate and submitted on time; work closely with the payroll team to resolve queries and discrepancies.
• Manage employee relations matters end-to-end, including performance, disciplinary, grievance, capability and absence cases, providing managers with clear, commercially sound advice and ensuring appropriate documentation and process.
• Support organisational change, including restructures, role changes, consultation processes and other employee-impacting business changes.
• Build manager capability through direct coaching and practical guidance with support of CHRO, enabling managers to handle people matters confidently, consistently and appropriately.
• Monitor changes in UK employment legislation and proactively recommend updates to policies, contracts and working practices to maintain compliance and reduce people-related risk.
• Partner with managers and HR team members on workforce needs, recruitment, onboarding and internal people decisions, working with Talent Acquisition and other partners where appropriate.
• Work closely with HR colleagues and business leaders globally to ensure UK requirements are understood while supporting consistent company-wide people practices and initiatives.
