HR Services is a primary point of contact for employees and managers to answer general HR questions and request documentation support. They are responsible for responding to enquiries from HRBP’s, employees and managers via telephone, and a shared inbox to support the entire employee life cycle.
The HR Shared Services Team works closely with the HR business partners, COE, payroll and external partners to execute employee-focused HR services and ensure effective administrative processes and record keeping.
