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.
• International HR Collaboration: Gradually develop your knowledge of HR policies and employment legislation in other countries. Support your international colleagues during absences, busy periods, or when other priorities arise.
