HR Generalist

Overview

WHO WE ARE:

At Harvey Performance Company, we’re more than a team, we’re a community. We build high-performance cutting tools and take a lot of pride in the people behind the work. That means strong leadership, clear expectations, and an HR team that focuses on helping employees succeed while keeping the business running smoothly.

We’re hiring an HR Generalist to support employees and leaders across the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, and everything in between. This role is a mix of hands-on HR support and people program execution, with room to contribute ideas and improve how things work.

If you’re the kind of HR person who likes being visible on the floor (or in the operation), solving problems, and keeping leaders aligned and consistent, you’ll do well here.

• Be a go-to HR resource for employees and leaders across day-to-day HR needs
• Support employee relations issues and help ensure consistent application of policies and practices
• Help coordinate and improve key lifecycle processes:
  • onboarding
  • job changes / promotions
  • performance support
  • retention / engagement actions
  • offboarding
• Support engagement and culture initiatives (events, recognition, feedback loops, etc.)
• Use employee feedback and HR data to identify trends and recommend improvements
• Assist with basic HR operations including:
  • HRIS transactions, reporting, and process updates
  • benefits support (enrollment questions, life events, employee self-service guidance)
  • payroll support as needed
• Partner with leaders during change, growth, or staffing shifts to keep communication clear and consistent
• Support learning and development efforts, including coordinating training, tracking completion, and helping refine programs

• 3 to 5 years of HR Generalist experience (manufacturing or fast-paced environments strongly preferred)
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence without being heavy-handed
• A practical approach to HR: fair, consistent, and solutions-focused
• Comfort working with HR systems and data (HRIS, dashboards, reporting, basic analytics)
• Working knowledge of employment laws and HR best practices
• High level of discretion and professionalism (confidentiality is non-negotiable)

• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or related field
• Experience supporting employee engagement initiatives and improvement projects
• Experience with HRIS optimization / process improvement work

This role partners closely with both employees and leaders. Occasional travel to the corporate office is expected for HR team collaboration (approximately one week per quarter
).
