  • Proactively stay updated on legal changes impacting employment, benefits (including statutory health insurance schemes), and payroll.
  • Manage government inspections, audits, and surveys, preparing all necessary documentation and serving as the point of contact.
  • Maintain meticulous records for all compliance-related activities.

Policy Development & Process Improvement

  • Contribute to developing, reviewing, and updating HR policies and procedures in line with legal mandates and industry best practices.
  • Identify opportunities for automation, integration, and efficiency within the people operations framework to enhance service delivery and accuracy.
  • Document and standardize all operational processes and workflows.

Employee Engagement & Support

  • Collaborate with managers and the People team to coordinate local team-building activities and engagement initiatives.
  • Serve as a trusted, primary point of contact for employee inquiries regarding policies, benefits (including medical insurance), payroll, and general HR matters, resolving issues promptly and with a high degree of service orientation.
  • Foster a culture of trust and transparency through clear and compassionate communication
