Build a global ER policy architecture that supports scale, transparency, and ease of application by non-experts. Process Redesign (Including AI Integration) Assess and strengthen Employee Relations case management practices by identifying opportunities where tooling could add value, and designing and embedding effective internal processes, frameworks, and guidance to enable consistent, efficient case management and reporting. Redesign ER processes end-to-end to make them scalable, efficient, data-driven, and globally consistent. Identify opportunities to embed AI in workflows (case intake, document drafting, triage tools, early risk detection, theme identification, etc.) to improve speed, accuracy, and decision consistency.
