Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am an HR professional with progressive experience across HR operations, recruitment, payroll administration and HRIS management. I have worked in roles from trainee and intern to HR Executive, handling full employee lifecycles for junior and non‑executive staff.
At KIAMotors (Lanka) Limited I managed end-to-end recruitment, onboarding, payroll, attendance and statutory submissions (ETF, EPF, ABH), and prepared official HR documentation that kept records accurate and compliant.
Previously I supported trainee programs, negotiated compensation for junior staff, administered transfers and employee confirmations, and regularly used HRIS tools to streamline processes and improve data accuracy.
I am committed to process improvement, employee engagement and collaborative problem solving, and I continue to develop professionally through CIPM credentials and HR diplomas to deliver measurable HR outcomes.
