Employee relations is the corner of HR where the handbook meets a real person on a hard day. This remote HR Advisor-Employee Relations role at Compass Group USA sits right in that corner: you are the first person associates and managers reach when they need a policy explained, a complaint heard, or a difficult situation handled by the book.

If you have a few years of HR generalist experience and want a work from home role that leans toward investigations and advising rather than paperwork, this is one of the more substantial Remote Jobs we have listed recently. Here is what the employer says about it, organized so you can decide quickly whether to apply.

About the HR Advisor-Employee Relations (Remote) role

Compass Group describes itself as a leading foodservice and support services company, with more than 284,000 associates across the US working in restaurants, corporate cafes, hospitals, schools, arenas and museums. That is a very large and varied workforce, which tells you something about the questions that will land in your inbox. The listing calls this position the primary contact for questions about interpreting HR policies, procedures and programs, and the first responder to HR inquiries by email, phone and other channels.
