• Delivered a clearly defined, end-to-end Onboarding and Induction experience aligned to employee and business needs
• Established practical onboarding standards, tools and resources that leaders can easily adopt

• Built strong relationships with key stakeholders and influenced sustainable change

What you’ll bring

• Demonstrated capability designing or improving Onboarding, Induction or Employee Experience journeys
• Strong facilitation, stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence at multiple levels
