Strategic HR Business Partner at HEINEKEN Slovenia who established Total Rewards and advanced pay equity.

Slovenia
Message

At HEINEKEN Slovenia (Brewery Lasko Union), I established the Total Rewards function, including its governance, policies, frameworks, and compensation structures. I also led development of performance management, mobility, benefits, and car policy frameworks.

As a Senior HRBusiness Partner at HEINEKEN Slovenia, I supported Commercial, Finance, D&T, Procurement, HR, and Corporate Affairs, and contributed to transformation, restructuring, and SAP SuccessFactors implementation. My work on engagement and retention contributed to a 15% increase in engagement and an approximately 6% reduction in employee turnover.

Earlier, I built core HR processes and workforce planning practices at Fructal d.o.o. and developed education frameworks at Startus Skupina d.o.o. I bring experience across international HR environments, with a focus on organizational effectiveness, people strategy, and total rewards.
