This may include drafting and reviewing local HR policies, handbooks, and procedures to ensure compliance with local employment laws.
  • Partnership & Administration: Work closely with the existing APAC People/HR administrative team to support day-to-day HR administrative tasks and ensure seamless regional operations.
  • New Hire Orientation Leadership: Lead local onboarding sessions and new hire orientations for employees in the APAC region, ensuring new team members are effectively integrated and informed about company policies and culture.
  • Onboarding & Offboarding Coordination: Coordinate and execute remaining key People/HR tasks for new hires and departures across the APAC region.
  • Global People Initiatives: Support the global People team on various projects, including talent development, performance management, engagement surveys, and process improvement efforts.
