As a key member of the Human Resources (HR) team, the Sr. Employee and Labor Relations Business Partner (ELRBP) serves as a subject matter expert in resolving employee relations matters. This role is instrumental in developing and maintaining a comprehensive employee relations strategy, along with creating tools and programs that enhance organizational capability and strengthen employee engagement.
The ELRBP's responsibilities include leading workplace investigations, revising policies, interpreting regulations, providing guidance on reorganizations and assessment processes, and managing performance improvement and progressive discipline processes. Additionally, the role involves training delivery and building supervisor capabilities in employee relations, analyzing case data, overseeing the leaves and accommodations process, and providing labor relations guidance for two unions.

This position includes leadership for one direct report and reports directly to the Chief HR Officer.
To succeed in this role, the ELRBP must navigate complex employment and employee relations matters, developing sound, balanced solutions aligned with our values. The ideal candidate will exhibit strong judgment, exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to handle sensitive employment situations with discretion. Relationship-building skills are essential for interacting with a diverse team of employees.
Collaboration is key, as the ELRBP will work closely with HR Business Partners and, when appropriate, the Princeton University Investigations Unit, the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity, the Office of Gender Equity and Title IX Administration, and internal or external legal counsel. By partnering with stakeholders and the Chief HR Officer, the ELRBP ensures that employee relations solutions align with laboratory values and objectives, contributing to the design and development of programs that foster innovation, engagement, and high performance. The ELRBP also provides coaching and support to stakeholders to create value through people. The ELRBP engages in trend analysis, offering periodic updates to HR Business Partners on potential opportunities. This role also involves consulting on policy interpretation, as well as designing training and educational programs to enhance managerial skills critical to maintaining positive employee relations.
