Team member straight talk 

Q: You have a unique position within HR, how would you describe your work? 
A:  There’s a lot of transactions that happen across HR; things like getting paid, requesting time off, learning and development. For some of these things, we leverage off-the-shelf software to process the task. My job is to bring human-centered design to the team member Digital Experience and elevate HR systems and services by focusing on empathizing with our team members while they navigate critical employee lifecycle phases like onboarding, rewards, career development, employee support, among others (globally and country-specific). I partner with teams beyond HR like Global Communications, IT, Brand, and Hybrid Cloud Organization ensuring the digital experience is tailored to meet our business requirements while also providing a seamless experience to team members. The partnership is also to leverage internal UX tools, resources, and provide growth for UX talent.

As many User experience designers, I’m constantly thinking about technology, human behavior, social trends, and solutions to help deliver the next user experiences.
