Advise managers and HR colleagues on performance remediation actions stemming from investigation outcomes.

Maintain accurate and thorough records in the appropriate systems, mainly Agilent’s case management tool.

Contribute to other assignments, such as developing training materials, assisting with misconduct reporting to leadership team, providing advice on policies and/or procedures, and partnering with colleagues or other departments on special projects.
