  • Ensure all aspects of (below executive) reward is focused on diversity and inclusivity to ensure accessibility and equality of approach to all colleagues, using regular analysis to provide assurance and insight
  • Ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant legislation and appropriate risk management and controls



Job Levelling & Evaluation:


  • Lead on the development of a global job levelling and architecture framework in conjunction with People teams across Hays Group to ensure clarity and consistency across grading and pay/benefits
  • Design and be accountable for job evaluation protocols and standards globally, ensuring that teams worldwide are upskilled to be able to deliver this consistently
  • Set the standard for clear and inclusive role profiles globally



Performance Management:


  • In collaboration with the regions and HRBPs, ensure Hays has a fit for purpose performance management framework that aligned to expected behaviours and drives delivery of business goals, whilst supporting ongoing feedback and personal development of colleagues.
  • Ensure that guidance and communications, upskilling in relation to performance management is clear and effectively understood, with colleagues and managers clear on the role they play in this
  • Play an active and broad role as a member of the Group People Leadership team, contributing to the wider strategic people agenda



What you'll need to succeed

We are looking for an engaging leader who will demonstrate behaviours that support and reflect the Hays values. With significant experience in operating at a senior reward level within a global organisation (with sales/commission structures), you will have a proven track record of acting as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. The successful candidate will be able to deliver in a fast paced, complex environment communicating clearly and openly to win support all whilst demonstrating a commitment to the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion through reward and performance.
