Manage employee relations and processes. You will support new and ongoing disability claims, return-to-work plans, workplace accommodations, and injury or illness reporting. You will advise employees and leaders on the interpretation and application of organizational policies, procedures, and programs, ensuring alignment with collective agreements, legislation, and best practices.
Collaborate with leaders and the HR team. You will work closely with managers to address performance concerns, support improvement planning, and identify training and professional development needs. You will partner with the broader HR team to provide consistent, practical guidance across the organization.
Deliver accurate and responsive HR administration. You will maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records, prepare documentation, and generate reports to support HR and leadership decision-making.
