Design and implement a fair, company-wide performance management program supported by the ADP HRMS. Lead the implementation, optimization, and ongoing management of the ADP HRMS as the organization's central people platform. Develop practical HR policies, procedures, and programs that support business growth while maintaining a people-first approach. Serve as a trusted advisor on employee relations, workforce planning, organizational development, and change management. Ensure compliance with provincial and federal employment legislation while partnering with Payroll, legal counsel, and business leaders. Establish a consistent employee experience across every location, making ECS's people-first philosophy a lived reality throughout the organization.
