Our Team
We are Global People Services (GPS), an integral vehicle of Human Resources delivering a first‑class experience to the enterprise. GPS HR Specialists are the vital consultants for employees and business leaders when they have any questions or concerns about HR‑related programs, policies or procedures. The global team facilitates critical employee life‑cycle transactions in a seamless way. From onboarding new hires into the company, to coordinating global mobility and working closely with external vendors, our aim is simple: to provide a seamless, platinum level of support to our colleagues and businesses.
What’s the role?
Your colleagues all know you as the problem‑solver – the person they go to when they need advice. You work well under pressure and thrive in a team environment. You’re accountable and relied upon for mitigating difficult situations, often leading by example. Discretion comes naturally to you, and you find a perfect balance between professional and personable. You love dealing with people and you’re that person who knows what customer service really means.
You’ll be located in Hong Kong and in charge of managing frontline HR processes as they pertain to employees across the APAC region. You will provide consultation on topics that cover a full range of HR‑related programs and be the first point of contact for employees reaching out to HR – managing inquiries ranging from benefits administration and tuition reimbursement policies to questions from managers about time off and general HR policies.
You will be required to act with discretion when handling sensitive information and be expected to balance inquiries coming in through our ticketing system, phone lines and providing in‑person consultation for more complex, high‑touch processes.
You will be counted on to provide support to employees navigating the many events related to the employee lifecycle while maintaining an excellent level of customer support and collaborating with your HR colleagues in the centres of excellence.
Additionally, you will be responsible for identifying trends in employee inquiries and working with our operations team to document changes and provide suggestions for process improvement. You’ll have the opportunity to build a network across the various HR teams and across the GPS team globally.
