What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters employee engagement and supports HR initiatives.

I am a strategic HR professional with over 9 years of experience in both multinational and local organizations. My expertise spans HR operations, employee engagement, payroll, compliance, and administration. I have a proven ability to lead HR initiatives, manage cross-functional projects, and enhance workplace culture. My strong background in event management, onboarding/offboarding, and policy implementation has equipped me with the skills necessary to drive organizational success.

In my current role as an HR Generalist at Open2Assist Sdn Bhd, I oversee various HR issues and procedures, manage the recruitment process, and coordinate employee relations. I am responsible for preparing payroll reports, managing employee work permits, and drafting new policies in accordance with legislative changes. My experience at Malaysian Hoya Lens Sdn Bhd further solidified my capabilities in full-spectrum HR operations, including payroll management and employee welfare programs.

I am passionate about fostering a positive workplace culture and developing talent within organizations. I strive to be a trusted advisor to management, supporting and coaching them as needed. My goal is to continue enhancing employee engagement and ensuring compliance with local labor laws while driving HR initiatives that align with business objectives.
