Develop, update, and proactively coach managers with comprehensive documentation and guides to empower them for effective self-service case management. Conduct data analysis and report monthly figures to identify patterns, risks, and areas for proactive intervention to support People Plan objectives. Mediate and facilitate disputes to reduce the number of formal cases. Maintain accurate and up-to-date systems and comprehensive case files through detailed case notes to ensure accountability and transparency. Provide flexible support to the broader HR function and HRBPs, including minute-taking at complex ER cases. Propose policy and procedure changes or improvements to instil best practice.
