Sur La Table is seeking an HR Manager for its Brownsburg Distribution Center. You will serve as the primary HR point person for the facility, reporting to the Sr. HR Manager at HQ. This is a full-cycle HR role with end-to-end responsibility across recruiting, employee lifecycle management, compliance, and workforce operations.
Key Responsibilities:
Recruiting & Staffing: Manage full-cycle recruiting for distribution center roles—posting, screening, offers, and Day 1 clearance—with volume scaling during peak and seasonal periods. Oversee temp staffing operations, including agency relationships, onboarding/offboarding, and hours submission.
Onboarding & New Hire Experience: Own the complete new hire journey—facilitate orientation, ensure systems and documentation readiness before Day 1, and conduct structured 15/45/90-day check-ins to surface trends and share findings with leadership.
Workforce Administration: Manage attendance tracking, timecard edits, call-off documentation, and policy enforcement with consistency, accuracy, and care.
Leave & Workers' Compensation: Own the leave of absence process in partnership with AbsencePro, handling communications, approvals, and follow-ups. Provide first-response support on workers' compensation claims and escalate complex situations with sound judgment and documentation.
Performance Management & Compliance: Pull completion and rating reports, keep BDC leadership informed on review timelines, and flag deadline risks. Coordinate monthly safety topics, annual training, and LMS compliance reporting to maintain current documentation.
Reporting, Engagement & Employee Relations: Produce and distribute regular HR reports—headcount, rosters, terminations, OSHA, perfect attendance, labor—and communicate insights clearly. Run recognition programs, coordinate engagement initiatives, execute BDC events, and conduct exit interviews to identify actionable patterns. Serve as the day-to-day HR contact for employees and managers, maintaining accurate Paylocity records and escalating employee relations concerns with sound judgment.
This is a lean team environment where you will own significant scope, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility. Success in the first 6–12 months means establishing yourself as the trusted HR partner on-site, streamlining recruiting and onboarding processes, and delivering workforce reporting that drives real decisions for BDC leadership.
