Communication is vital in this role, as you will answer phone calls, record messages, and create office correspondence using a computer. You will serve as a subject matter expert in Human Resources, participating in project teams and training new hires on various processes, programs, policies, and information systems. Following company policies and procedures is essential, as is maintaining a professional appearance and confidentiality of proprietary information.
