• Employee Support & Compliance: Provide day-to-day HR support and seek additional assistance when dealing with more complex matters. Maintain employee records in HR systems, review and approve absences and expense claims through the HR system Factorial, and support GDPR compliance and the monitoring of local employment legislation.
• Health & Safety: Support administrative activities related to occupational health and safety and follow up on employee sick leave.
• Internal Initiatives: Help organize employee events, team-building activities, gifts, newsletters, and other initiatives that contribute to employee engagement and workplace satisfaction.
