I have a strong background in human resources and administrative roles, with significant experience across various companies. Most recently, I worked at Cognizant as an HR Admin Senior Specialist from August 2019 to December 2022. In this role, I managed employee lifecycle processes for over 2000 employees, prepared employment-related documents, implemented new HR processes, and adapted policies to changes in labor law. I also provided support for managers and leaders regarding HR processes and Polish labor law, informed job applicants about their roles and benefits, and managed Polish Capital Plans within the company. Before joining Cognizant, I held various HR and administrative positions at Unitest Marine Simulators Ltd, GARDA, Gebwell Ltd., dls Trans, Sage, and Baltix. In these roles, I was responsible for preparing employment contracts, managing employee documentation, supporting payroll processes, handling business trip expenses, and ensuring compliance with legal aspects of HR management. Additionally, I coordinated training, managed employee benefits, and supported the implementation of new HR initiatives. My educational background includes a Master's degree in General Pedagogy and a Bachelor's degree in Education Defence and Crisis Management, complemented by postgraduate studies in Human Resources and Payroll.Tech Stack
