Identify, assess and provide clear recommendations on people related risks and issues, enabling informed and timely decision making.
Work closely with the centralised HR function on the implementation of cyclical HR programs.
Coordinate the identification and analysis of people-related issues and formulate options and recommendations to resolve the matter.
