• Prepare presentations, executive summaries, meeting notes, and briefing materials for HR leadership meetings and broader company initiatives.
• Maintain rolling agendas and action‑item trackers to document key decisions, establish ownership, and ensure follow‑through.
• Assist with gathering and synthesizing information from internal surveys, employee feedback, and other HR initiatives, translating findings into organized summaries and actionable insights.

• Support the coordination and execution of key HR projects and enterprise‑wide initiatives, tracking milestones, deliverables, and deadlines.
• Proactively follow up with stakeholders to collect materials, monitor progress, and keep projects moving forward.
• Coordinate cross‑functional meetings and initiatives involving HR leadership and other departments across Related.
• Assist with planning and executing HR department events, leadership gatherings, employee engagement activities, and company celebrations.
