Total Package HR is looking for a Human Resources Generalist to join our ever-growing team. In this role, you will have the opportunity to learn and grow with a fast-paced, fun, HR consulting and services firm. This is a role for someone passionate about the work they do, someone with strong critical thinking skills, and someone who is detail oriented. To join and be successful on our team you must be aligned with our Company’s values.
Our compensation package includes medical, dental, vision and life insurance; paid vacation, sick time, and holidays; 401k Safe Harbor retirement plan; a flexible, dynamic, and fun small team environment; professional development allowances and opportunities; work from home options; and an opportunity to learn and grow through ownership of your role and empowerment with the company.
What we value:
Our commitment to our clients is to serve as an integrated partner where we are viewed as a seamless extension of their team. We pride ourselves on being responsive. Many HR matters can’t wait, and we get that, so we’ve built a team that understands how to operate with a sense of urgency, while also being mindful that reacting is different than responding. We truly work hard, and we also value being real and telling it how it is. That’s not to say we lack polish and diplomacy, but we’ll never tell a client what they want to hear if that’s not what they need to hear. And finally, we like to have fun. HR isn’t always viewed as fun, but we love what we do, and we incorporate our personalities and love for HR in our work every day.
