HR Business Partner skilled in employee relations, performance, and HR analytics.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an HR Business Partner role where I can lead employee relations and performance cycles, ensure HR compliance, and use HR analytics to improve engagement, retention, and onboarding outcomes—partnering closely with business leaders to drive measurable impact.

I’m an HR Business Partner with 6 years of experience across global organizations, including Accenture, Grant Thornton, and HPE client projects. I bring proven expertise in employee relations, performance management, HR operations, talent acquisition, learning & development, compliance, and recognition programs.

I’m AON Certified HR Business Partner and HR People Advisor, known for resolving complex employee issues and partnering closely with stakeholders. In my current role, I manage end-to-end performance achievement and total rewards, lead the PIP lifecycle with structured coaching, handle employee grievances within SLAs, and act as the HR compliance POC to close compliance gaps.

I also focus on engagement and readiness—facilitating onboarding and induction, running recognition and rewards initiatives, and improving retention through employee connect sessions. Earlier, I designed a virtual induction model onboarding 500+ new hires annually, improved training visibility by 25%, supported audit-ready policy implementation, and contributed to urgent talent acquisition needs and internal hiring portal upkeep.
