  • Effectively negotiate and implement collective agreements around policy and procedure changes, reductions in force, terminations, and other HR and business matters.
  • Exercise strong professional judgment, emotional intelligence, collaborative communication, and relationship-building with external stakeholders and cross-functional partners to ensure compliance with all labor laws and regulations.
  • Evaluate and utilize metrics that look towards broader organizational health improvements, continuously improve labor relations processes, and proactively spot labor relations issues.
  • Practical experience leading conflict resolution, collaborative problem-solving, mediations, and arbitrations to resolve workplace conflict and grievance procedures effectively.

Employee Relations Investigations, Case Management, and Other Strategic HR Work

  • Manage employee relations related investigations end-to-end, in partnership with Legal and HRBPs, including allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, bullying, and misconduct.
  • Demonstrate a strong understanding of investigations consistency, confidentiality, neutrality, and other employment law best practices.
  • Effectively resolve conflict, communicate findings, and present trends to cross-functional HR partners, Legal, and business leaders.
  • Consult and execute on best practices in compliance and manager development trainings, performance management, and corrective action plans.
  • Work collaboratively with HRBPs to mitigate and resolve employee relations issues.

Job Requirements

  • Extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of collective labor laws, practices, and regulations in EMEA, specifically Germany.
  • Experience independently conducting, documenting, and presenting thorough and fair investigations.
  • Advanced communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Proven ability to work independently and identify legal and compliance risk.
  • Strong problem-solving, strategic thinking, and organizational skills with great attention to detail.
  • Learning and development, performance management, and HR project management experience highly valued.

Education

  • 12 years relevant experience required
  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in HR, Business Administration, Labor Relations and/or Law preferred
  • Compliance training, certifications, and other industry associations helpful
