• Prepare workforce reporting: Maintain accurate onboarding, workforce, compliance, and program participation reports, monitor data quality, and identify opportunities to improve administrative processes.

• Provide employee support: Respond to routine HR inquiries, assist employees and managers with onboarding and administrative processes, and refer complex employee relations, payroll, or policy matters to the appropriate HR resource.

• Support HR initiatives: Assist with employee orientations, HR programs, and process improvement activities while maintaining confidentiality and supporting a positive employee experience.
