About the Opportunity
In Colleague Success, we strive to create amazing colleague experiences, using technology, data and automation to continually improve day to day life for all who work here. We provide people with outstanding support when they need it, and enable colleagues to easily complete tasks relating to themselves and their teams on their preferred device, at a time that suits them.
The team currently brings together a very broad range of skills and specialisms covering Recruitment Operations, Vetting, Learning Operations, Policy Query Management, Employee Relations & Case Management and Payroll Operations.
