Our People Managers play a crucial role in the success of our Sites, managing multiple responsibilities to create and drive effective people strategies and operations. This role offers a significant opportunity to impact the entire site operation. If you seek a position where you can make a difference and foster change, this role is ideal.
Managing an onsite People Team (up to 8 members), the People Manager will partner with the Site and Leadership teams to implement first-class HR practices aligned with the Morrisons vision and operational ways of working. It is a fast-paced, challenging, yet highly rewarding role where attention to detail and credibility are essential.
Due to the nature of our logistics operations, this role is fully site-based with no hybrid working options. While flexible working hours are available, full-time presence on-site is required to support the team and business needs.
Reporting to the Senior People Manager, your responsibilities will include:
1. Leading and managing the People and site teams to ensure high performance, motivation, and training of colleagues.
2. Developing and executing a site-specific people plan that aligns with local needs and the Morrisons framework.
3. Fostering a culture of respect where managers engage, listen, and respond to their teams.
4. Coaching and supporting management and the People team to enhance performance and develop talent across the site.
5. Ensuring all ER, IR, and Payroll processes comply with legal standards and company policies.
6. Managing temporary and permanent labour supplies, working with relevant parties to fill vacancies while ensuring a positive candidate and colleague experience.
7. Driving talent development with appropriate development and succession plans for salaried colleagues.
8. Ensuring optimal staffing and training remains a priority for the leadership team.
9. Proactively prioritising health and safety for colleagues and customers.
10. Identifying opportunities for cost savings and collaborating with operational teams to meet labour budgets and efficiencies.
