Job Summary:
At Nelson-Jameson, we approach Human Resources a little differently. Our Employee Experience (EX) team focuses on serving people first - ensuring employees feel respected, heard, and supported while balancing the needs of the business.

Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as a trusted resource for employees, answering questions, addressing concerns, and providing guidance on company policies and HR practices.
- Support employee relations activities, including workplace investigations, conflict resolution, case documentation, and follow-up.

- Conduct stay and exit interviews, identify trends in employee feedback, and recommend opportunities to improve the employee experience.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, increase efficiency, and strengthen employee relations and benefits practices.
- Collaborate with the Employee Experience team to support employees, navigate challenges, and continuously develop knowledge of employee relations, benefits, and employment law.
