This role is all about keeping the HR engine running smoothly across our global offices. You're the person making sure new hires get onboarded properly, everyone gets paid on time, and all the employee data is spot-on. Think of yourself as the central hub for all things transactional HR, making sure our people processes are consistent and compliant, no matter where our employees are in the world. It’s a crucial role that underpins everything we do in People.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Data Entry Accuracy
The percentage of HRIS transactions (hires, changes, terminations) entered correctly without errors.
Target · >99.5% accuracy

If you process 200 transactions in a month, we'd expect no more than one error. An error might be a wrong start date or an incorrect salary figure, which can cause real headaches down the line.

Tier 1 Ticket Resolution Rate
The percentage of routine employee queries resolved within our service level agreement (SLA).
Target · 80% of assigned tickets resolved within 48 hours

If you're assigned 50 'how do I change my address?' or 'where's my payslip?' tickets in a week, you'd aim to close 40 of them within two working days. The remaining might need escalation, but the bulk should be handled by you.

Onboarding Completion Rate
Ensuring all new hire profiles are set up and provisioned in our systems before their official start date.
Target · 100% of new hire profiles created and provisioned before Day 1

If we have 10 new starters next Monday, all 10 should have their Workday profile, payroll details, and IT access ready to go when they log in on their first day. No 'swivel chair' chaos for them!

Payroll Input Timeliness
The percentage of payroll input files and changes submitted to the payroll team or vendor by the agreed deadlines.
Target · 100% on-time submission

Missing the payroll cut-off means someone doesn't get paid, or their bonus is delayed. This metric tracks that you're getting all the necessary changes (new hires, leavers, salary bumps) to payroll exactly when they need them, every single month.

Process Adherence & Improvement
Consistently following established HR processes and identifying small ways to make them better or clearer.
  • You'll be known for rarely missing a step in a multi-stage process. You might flag a common error point in a form or suggest a clearer instruction for managers. We'd see you documenting a tricky scenario or updating a Confluence article without being asked, making life easier for everyone else.
Employee Support Quality
Providing clear, helpful, and empathetic support to employees for their HR queries.
  • Feedback from employees (even informal 'thanks for your help' emails) will highlight your clear communication and helpful attitude. You'll show a knack for explaining complex HR rules in plain English, and people will feel you genuinely listened to their issue and worked to resolve it, even if it's just directing them to the right place.
Problem Solving for Routine Issues
Successfully resolving common, recurring HR administration problems independently.
  • You'll spot why a particular data field isn't updating correctly in Workday and know how to fix it, or figure out why a new starter's benefits enrolment isn't kicking in. You'll be able to troubleshoot most Tier 1 and 2 issues without needing to escalate to your manager or an HRBP, showing you understand the 'why' behind the processes.
Discretion and Confidentiality
Handling sensitive employee information with the utmost care and professionalism.
  • You'll be trusted with confidential data like salaries, performance reviews, and personal medical information. You won't discuss employee matters outside of the necessary context, and you'll always follow data privacy guidelines like GDPR. Basically, you're a safe pair of hands for our most sensitive information.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making things run smoothly

You get a real kick out of seeing a complex process go off without a hitch. Fixing a data discrepancy or getting a new hire fully set up by their first day gives you a genuine sense of accomplishment.

Successfully processing a monthly global payroll run with zero errors, knowing everyone got paid correctly, is a big win for you.

Being the 'go-to' for answers

You enjoy becoming the expert on specific HR processes or system functions. When a colleague or employee asks a tricky question, you like being able to provide the clear, correct answer.

An HRBP asks you how to handle a specific leave type in Workday for a German employee, and you can confidently walk them through the steps.

Contributing to a stable foundation

You understand that accurate data and reliable processes are the bedrock of a good employee experience and a compliant organisation. You find satisfaction in knowing your meticulous work prevents bigger problems down the line.

You spend an hour cleaning up some messy historical data, knowing it will prevent future payroll errors or incorrect reporting for the leadership team.

What frustrates people
  • Spending an inordinate amount of time cleaning up messy data entered by others (managers, recruiters) who don't understand the downstream impact of their typos.
  • Trying to enforce a standardised global process while constantly battling requests for local exceptions that add complexity and risk.
  • The cyclical stress of chasing dozens of managers for approvals just hours before a hard system cutoff for payroll or performance reviews.
  • Being blamed for a poor user experience or lack of functionality in an enterprise HR system that you didn't choose and cannot change.
  • The 'swivel chair' grind: manually re-keying data between the ATS, HRIS, and payroll systems because the promised integrations don't actually work.
  • Trying to explain to a frustrated employee why their seemingly simple request requires a complex, multi-step workflow due to system logic and compliance rules.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic HR decision-making on a daily basis.
  • Frequent direct employee relations casework (that's usually for HRBPs).
  • The ability to fundamentally redesign core HR systems without senior approval.
  • A role where you rarely have to deal with repetitive administrative tasks.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts employee experience, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across the organisation. Accurate and timely administration means employees trust HR, managers get the support they need, and the business avoids costly errors or legal issues related to people data and processes. You're essentially the backbone of our global HR function, ensuring foundational elements are solid.

Inside the business
  • HR Operations Manager
  • HR Business Partners (HRBPs)
  • Payroll team
  • IT Support team
  • Finance team
  • Employees at all levels
Outside the business
  • Global payroll vendors
  • Benefits providers
  • Relocation and immigration agencies
  • HRIS system support (e.g., Workday)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in an HR administration or HR operations role, preferably within a global or multi-country organisation.
  • Proven experience working with a major HR Information System (HRIS) like Workday, SuccessFactors, or Oracle HCM—you'll need to know your way around these systems.
  • A track record of high accuracy and attention to detail in data entry and record-keeping. We'll be looking for examples of how you've prevented errors.
  • Experience in managing full employee lifecycle processes (onboarding, changes, offboarding) for a significant number of employees.
  • Demonstrable ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion and integrity.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Workday Configuration & Reporting

As we grow and our HR needs become more complex, we'll need people who can do more than just transactional work in Workday. Being able to build custom reports, understand calculated fields, and even configure simple business processes will make you invaluable.

Custom Report Building · Calculated Fields (Basic) · Business Process Framework

  • This month: Explore Workday's 'Community' or 'Learning' sections for tutorials on custom reporting.
  • Next quarter: Ask your manager if you can shadow a more senior colleague when they're building a custom report or troubleshooting a Workday issue.
  • Month 4-6: Take an online course on Workday reporting or configuration basics. Try to build one custom report that solves a recurring data request.

Quick win: Whenever you need a report that doesn't exist, try to build it yourself first using Workday's custom report builder, even if it's just a simple one.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending HR Operations or HRIS user group webinars and conferences to stay updated on best practices and system changes.
  • Enrolling in online courses on advanced Excel, data analytics for HR, or specific HR compliance topics relevant to our global footprint.
  • Actively participating in internal HR team knowledge-sharing sessions and contributing to our Confluence knowledge base.
  • Seeking out opportunities to shadow HR Business Partners or Payroll specialists to understand their challenges and how your work impacts them.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Global HR Administrator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of HR admin work involves repetitive tasks, digging through documents, and answering similar questions over and over. But what if you could offload a chunk of that to smart AI tools? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower.

We're building an AI-first culture, and that means giving our HR team access to tools that can handle the grunt work, freeing you up for more interesting, impactful tasks. Imagine less 'swivel chair' data entry and more time actually solving problems or improving employee experience.

Automated Ticket Triage & Response

An AI assistant can read incoming employee queries, categorise them, and even draft instant answers for common questions by pulling from our Confluence knowledge base. For complex issues, it'll route them straight to you with all the relevant context. Think of it as your super-efficient HR front desk.

Payroll Anomaly Detection

Before payroll runs, an AI can scan pre-payroll reports, comparing current data to historical trends for each employee. It'll flag statistically significant anomalies – like a surprisingly large salary increase or a missing bonus – for your human review, catching costly errors before they happen.

Global Compliance Assistant

Need to quickly check the statutory paternity leave requirements in France? Or get a checklist for terminating an employee in Ontario, Canada? Use an AI tool to get quick, summarised answers to complex compliance questions, saving you hours of research.

Process Documentation Generator

Imagine an AI tool observing you perform a multi-step task in Workday and then automatically generating a step-by-step SOP, complete with screenshots. You just need to review, refine, and publish it to Confluence. No more tedious manual documentation!

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Global HR Administrator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 3 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Global HR Administrator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
