  • Support people processes such as probation reviews, performance cycles and workforce planning activity
  • Help identify ER trends and recurring issues, supporting the HRBP with insight and reporting
  • Work closely with the HR Business Partner, HR Operations and Centres of Expertise to ensure a consistent employee experience
