+ Maintains an organizing risk dashboard using leading indicators and qualitative intelligence provided by HRBPs/ER, the Workforce Strategy & Work Environment function, and operational leaders; validate risk themes and recommend mitigation options consistent with company values and legal requirements.

+ Leads or coordinates site-specific mitigation plans that address root-cause drivers (e.g., leadership effectiveness, scheduling, safety climate, communications cadence) by aligning the right partners (Operations, HRBP, ER, Total Rewards, Safety, Communications) and tracking follow-through.

+ Creates repeatable playbooks, checklists, and after-action reviews to improve readiness and response; track outcomes (risk indicators, leader capability uptake, mitigation completion) and provide updates to senior leaders in partnership with the Workforce Strategy & Work Environment team.

+ Provides labor relations advice and guidance to client groups as an LR Advisor and subject matter expert and potentially supporting or engaging in collective bargaining.

+ A material job duty of all positions within the Company is ensuring the protection of all its physical, financial and cybersecurity assets, and properly accessing and managing private customer data, proprietary information, confidential medical records, and other types of highly sensitive information and data with the highest standards of conduct and integrity.
