• Collaborate with other departments (mainly legal, compliance, internal audit, and other HR areas) to complete investigations or other related investigative plans, and ensure those are conducted in a thorough and legally compliant manner.

• 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.
