  • Develop and implement competitive compensation and benefits strategies, ensuring that pay structures are aligned with industry benchmarks.
  • Oversee the annual performance review and merit increase process, driving equity and fairness across the organization.
  • Ensure full compliance with labor laws, union agreements, and workforce regulations

Union & Employee Relations

  • Lead union negotiations and labor relations with a balanced, fair, and forward-looking approach, ensuring alignment between business objectives and workforce needs.
  • Act as a bridge between blue-collar and white-collar employees, fostering open communication and engagement at all levels of the organization.
  • Establish proactive conflict resolution mechanisms, ensuring that employee relations are handled with a people-first mindset.

Operational & Financial HR Excellence

  • Optimize HR operations, processes, and policies to drive efficiency, scalability, and business agility.
