@thaliachristopoulou
I’m a senior HR professional specializing in EMEA payroll, benefits, and people-focused change leadership.
GreeceWhat I'm looking for
I bring over five years of HR experience across human resources management, operations, and strategic leadership. In my current role as an EMEA Payroll & Benefits Advisor, I support multi-country UK and EMEA operations—delivering accurate HR, payroll, and benefits work while ensuring alignment with local labour legislation and company standards.
I’m known for using workforce planning, policy development, and employee engagement to drive organisational success, with strong expertise in HRIS systems and HR analytics. I’ve advised clients on organisational transformation, TUPE processes, and people strategy, and in prior roles I improved onboarding and communications, enhanced benefits to support retention, and reduced payroll errors by 25%—all while building a positive, compliant workplace culture. I’m currently completing CIPD Level 5 to strengthen my strategic HR leadership.
