Team description

The ‘Workforce Transformation’ team is a strategic department, part of TME’s People & Innovation Function (P&I), in charge of all employee related policies & process.

Our team’s mission is to build an agile organization, and a workforce optimized to take advantage of new mobility business opportunities, through total workforce planning (i.e. structure, heads & cost).  On top of this, we are responsible for driving P&I’s long-term strategy.  (Think: What would a successful HR function look like by 2030.)

Under this mission, one of our ambitions is to stimulate efficient use of resources, and provide effective support to (Top) Management in making recruitment decisions.

Your responsibilities

You will be supporting the Workforce Transformation team on following priorities:

1. Contingent workforce strategy & management

In recent years, TME’s recruitment strategy has been built around providing sustainable employment, which has resulted in a strong focus on permanent contracts.  Today however, we notice the labour market is pivoting towards greater flexibility.  New types of flexible contracts are on the rise, also in TME.  It’s in this area that we would appreciate your support:
