Quickly learn about assigned business areas to be able to be a trusted, strategic business partner.
Commit to continuous learning around Reasonable Accommodation, and ensuring our team members have the information they need to consult consistently within law and agency best practice.
Opportunities to solve problems:
This position has the opportunity to approach problems with the philosophy of providing risk-based advice with options. The conversation doesn't begin or end with "no." We seek to understand and provide creative solutions when possible, utilizing our subject matter expertise to clearly communicate risk associated with each option.
Classification and compensation challenges – true position planning from start to finish, including identifying workforce gaps that may lead to classification &compensation proposals.
Performance management challenges – how to coach leaders to address issues appropriately to reach the best outcome, including opportunities to provide focused, individual training or broader training to groups of employees.

Duties
What makes this role unique? In addition to a wide variety of HR generalist functions, you will serve as the subject matter expert and HR lead in Reasonable Accommodation, focusing on applying process improvement principles and methodologies to the reasonable accommodation process. You will develop and update supervisor and employee resources related to accommodations. This position is not transaction-focused, rather the focus is on consulting, creating, and improving. What you will do:
Work with team mates to ensure Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Respect (DEIR) is integrated into position descriptions and the hiring process. We are working to ensure unnecessary barriers do not exist when seeking employment with Ecology, including updating our required minimum qualifications to account for alternative ways to be qualified, instead of always relying upon degrees, wherever possible.
Collaborate with assigned programs to identify workforce issues and be empowered to help resolve them. We encourage our HR Business Partners to identify creative solutions wherever possible, and not rely upon “the way we’ve always done it”. These opportunities may include working on classification & compensation proposals, modifying existing procedures, and partnering with others to ensure proposed policy meets our customers’ needs.
Become an expert in human resource management, and employee and labor relations; be the strategic partner and advocate to the executives, managers, and supervisors in assigned programs for workforce planning, employee performance management, labor relations, and all other human resource management and personnel functions.
Provide accurate and research-based guidance on performance management, labor relations, and disciplinary processes to Ecology managers and supervisors so that actions align with Just Cause principles and stand up through the scrutiny of grievances and arbitrations.
Work collaboratively to support the goals of the programs/offices and the mission of the agency by strategically partnering with program staff to manage issues related to Classification and Compensation in assigned programs. Provide expertise and consultation on job classifications, compensation and workforce planning. Analyze position descriptions and make allocation determinations. Represent agency in classification appeals and coordinate preparation. Perform FLSA designation review and determinations. Serve as a member of the agency WMS Banding Committee and ITPS Evaluation Committee.
Consult with employees and supervisors and provide assistance regarding state and federal employment laws, civil service rules, collective bargaining agreements, agency policies, career development opportunities, classification and pay and other issues. Investigate and analyze problems having broad potential impact, make recommendations, provide options, or suggest necessary actions on matters.
The successful applicant for this position will be expected to accomplish the following:
Commit to leaning into Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) competencies both as an individual and in a support role for peers, customers, and leaders at Ecology; furthering understanding of DEI principles and advancing knowledge and learning in this space.
Build and maintain strong business relationships and credibility with peers, customers, and the team.
Identify and implement continuous problem improvement solutions to create more effective and efficient business practices.
Meet established and mutually agreed upon service deliveries or timelines associated with work product.
Quickly learn about assigned business areas to be able to be a trusted, strategic business partner.
Commit to continuous learning around Reasonable Accommodation, and ensuring our team members have the information they need to consult consistently within law and agency best practice.
Opportunities to solve problems:
This position has the opportunity to approach problems with the philosophy of providing risk-based advice with options. The conversation doesn't begin or end with "no." We seek to understand and provide creative solutions when possible, utilizing our subject matter expertise to clearly communicate risk associated with each option.
Classification and compensation challenges – true position planning from start to finish, including identifying workforce gaps that may lead to classification &compensation proposals.
Performance management challenges – how to coach leaders to address issues appropriately to reach the best outcome, including opportunities to provide focused, individual training or broader training to groups of employees.
Opportunity to identify gaps in our processes and work together to resolve those gaps. We empower our HR Business Partners to work closely with programs to provide specialized support and consultation.
Culture of the team: We are a creative and productive team that appreciates the variety of personalities, perspectives, and communication styles of our teammates! We are committed to each other’s success and are invested in maintaining a happy, healthy workplace. This is an incredible opportunity to join a team that is dedicated to Ecology's mission to protect, preserve and enhance Washington's environment for current and future generations.

We highly value providing employees opportunities to learn and grow, in both formal training opportunities and informal on the job training. We are a strong team of HR professionals, who support our customers and each other, to provide the best service possible.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
