People Partner - EssenceMediacom
Apply NowDescription
As a People Partner at EssenceMediacom you will coordinate and carry out our People & Culture agenda and initiatives related thereto on an agency-level and across our People Community. You will understand the needs of employees and align with both our several agencies, leadership and GroupM business.
Our People team underwent a reorganization about a year ago. It's essential that we have the right setup when your business is built by great people. Each agency has a People Partner (similar to an HR Business Partner), and we are looking for a new colleague for one of these roles. To ensure a broader perspective, we have three People Leads (like HR Leaders) who are shaped by the business and drive the people agenda from the top down. Additionally, we have a central People Operation Team (HR admin, benefits and sparring) and a Talent Team focused on recruitment, talent pipeline, education, and leadership coordination. We hope that give you some kind of overview 😊
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
The People Partner is overall responsible for driving below areas and initiatives related to the People & Culture agenda in close collaboration with the People Leads, and the rest of the People Community. To us, the People Partner must always have an overview of the People landscape on an agency/unit level.
People Development Cycle
Driving talent performance, and in cooperation with the leadership ensuring goal-setting, career-development and performance review conversations with all employees are being conducted and reported in CultureAmp (our joint People Development platform).
