Job Description:
At Microsoft, our culture is built on trust, inclusion, and accountability—and our Employee Relations team plays a critical role in bringing that culture to life every day. As an Employee Relations Manager, you will be a trusted advisor and calm, thoughtful presence for employees and managers navigating complex and sensitive workplace situations. In this role, you will partner closely with leaders, Human Resources colleagues, Legal, and investigation partners to guide fair, consistent, and values‑aligned outcomes. You’ll help employees and managers understand processes, set clear expectations, and move forward with confidence—while ensuring Microsoft policies, standards, and cultural commitments are upheld. You’ll bring judgment, empathy, and investigative expertise to your work, independently managing mid‑level complexity employee relations matters and contributing to broader insights that help strengthen manager capability and prevent future issues. Through coaching, data‑driven insights, and collaboration across the HR ecosystem, you’ll help shape a respectful, inclusive, and high‑performing workplace where people feel supported and heard. This is an opportunity to make meaningful impact—supporting individuals at pivotal moments, influencing healthier team dynamics, and contributing to a culture where everyone can do their best work
