  • Partner with Employment Legal and People Business Partners on case strategy, required reviews, employee communications, and implementation of agreed outcomes.

  • Build practical tools and improve how we work. Develop case-management practices and manager resources, use case trends to address recurring issues, and develop ad hoc training / programs as relevant.
