• Manage company-wide WH&S Committee meetings and support WH&S obligations, including processing workers compensation claims and tracking and reporting WH&S incidents.
• Work with the Head of People & Reward to identify and implement continuous improvements.
• Provide support to People Partners and other stakeholders in managing P&C activities across the annual cycle (e.g. performance, reward, talent & succession planning, engagement, learning & development).
• Conduct audits of HR data and processes to ensure compliance with policies and legislation.
• Assist with ensuring compliance-related issues and instances of non-compliance are escalated and/or reported appropriately.
• Actively support employees through their workplace journey and contribute to creating a positive culture in line with our stated behaviours.
