Important Success Criterion

The organization explicitly seeks an HR professional who does not solely advise. Success in this assignment means that managers become better at identifying and addressing absenteeism and personnel issues, leading to problems being preempted and escalating to HR management less frequently.

This assignment is an excellent fit for an experienced HR Business Partner who thrives on coaching, absenteeism, labor law, and strengthening leadership within an operational organization.

Assignment

For a service-oriented organization with approximately 290 employees, we are looking for an experienced Interim HR Business Partner who is firmly grounded in operations and helps managers take more ownership of HR topics. The organization is in a phase where HR is being further professionalized, with a focus on absenteeism management, leadership development, labor law cases, and strengthening the HR foundation.

You are not the advisor who makes recommendations from the sidelines, but a hands-on HR professional who actively coaches and supports team leaders with daily personnel issues. You are visible on the work floor, identify risks related to absenteeism, performance, and collaboration early on, and ensure that issues are addressed before they escalate.

Additionally, you act as an independent point of contact for operational HR matters and serve as a buffer between the business and the HR Manager.
