🌍HR gets complicated when your workforce crosses borders.

Different countries.

Different employment laws.

Different employee expectations.

Different HR processes.

Now imagine being the person helping managers and employees navigate all of it.

That’s the opportunity at ASSA ABLOY.

The company is looking for an HR Adviser – EMEIA to join its Head Office team on a 12-month fixed-term contract, supporting employees and managers across approximately 20 countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa.

This isn’t an HR role limited to one office.

It’s a role where global thinking becomes part of your everyday work.

🌟About ASSA ABLOY:
ASSA ABLOY is a global leader in access solutions, helping make physical and digital spaces safer, more secure, and easier to access. 🌎🔐

The Group has nearly 63,000 colleagues across more than 70 countries, bringing together diverse teams, perspectives, and expertise.

The company places strong emphasis on career development, training, feedback, internal mobility, and creating opportunities for employees to shape their careers around their ambitions.

For HR professionals, that global scale creates an environment where people, technology, data, and business strategy come together.

💡About the Role:
As an HR Adviser EMEIA, you’ll provide generalist HR support to employees and managers across the EMEIA Head Office organization.

You’ll act as a trusted HR partner throughout the employee lifecycle — supporting everything from contracts and recruitment to performance reviews, compensation activities, HR analytics, employee development, and HRIS improvements.

You’ll also work with SAP SuccessFactors, HRIS specialists, Talent Acquisition teams, and recruitment partners.

The role requires someone who isn’t afraid of data, complexity, or multiple priorities.

Because sometimes the best HR advice isn’t found in a policy document.

It’s found by understanding the people, the data, and the business behind the question.

📌 Provide generalist HR advisory support to employees and managers across approximately 20 countries. 🌍

📌 Monitor and report HR metrics to support informed business decisions. 📊

📌 Support enhancements to the global SAP SuccessFactors HR Information System. 💻

📌 Assist with HRIS testing, training, user support, and platform adoption. ⚙️

📌 Support EMEIA HR projects and Learning & Development initiatives. 📚

📌 Work closely with HRIS Specialists to improve HR system adoption. 💡

🔥Career Insight:
The more global a company becomes, the less effective one-size-fits-all HR becomes.

A policy that works in one country may need to be adapted somewhere else.

A manager in Sweden may face a completely different employee challenge from a manager in India.

And a global HR system is only valuable if people actually know how to use it.

That’s why strong international HR professionals develop more than technical knowledge.

They learn to connect local realities with global strategy.

They understand data.

They understand people.

They understand employment law.

And most importantly, they learn how to turn complexity into clarity.

That’s the kind of HR professional global organizations need.
