HR Generalist – Employee Relations (Build & Scale) | Onsite – Delavan, WI
Delavan Holdings, Delavan, WI, United States
Delavan Holdings is hiring an HR Generalist to support a 2,000+ employee, multi-state operation. This role is heavily focused on employee relations, workplace investigations, and advising leaders through complex situations.
This is not a plug-and-play HR environment. We are actively building and standardizing processes across a growing organization. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how HR operates, not just follow a playbook.
If you’re comfortable working through ambiguity, influencing leaders, and putting structure in place where it doesn’t yet exist—this role will fit.
What You’ll Do Employee Relations & Investigations (Core Focus)
Own employee relations cases from intake through resolution
Conduct workplace investigations (policy violations, performance issues, complaints)
Coach leaders through discipline, documentation, and difficult conversations
Ensure consistent application of policies and employment law
Build & Improve HR Processes
Identify gaps and help create scalable HR processes and standards
Bring structure to inconsistent practices across locations
Partner with HR leadership to improve compliance, documentation, and workflows
Internal Mobility & Retention
Support promotions, transfers, and career pathing
Partner with leaders to retain top talent and reduce turnover
Offboarding & Workforce Insights
Manage employee separations and exit interviews
Analyze trends and provide actionable recommendations
Talent & Performance Support
Support performance management and PIPs
Assist in identifying high-potential employees and succession opportunities
Onboarding & Orientation
Facilitate new hire orientation
Partner with TA and onboarding teams to improve early employee experience
Requirements
3–5 years in an HR Generalist or HR Business Partner role
Strong experience with employee relations and workplace investigations
Ability to operate independently and make sound judgment calls
Comfortable working in a growing, evolving environment without rigid structure
Working knowledge of employment law and HR compliance
Experience supporting multi-location or decentralized teams
Familiarity with HRIS systems (Paylocity a plus)
Ability to work onsite in Delavan, WI with up to 10% travel
Why This Role Stands Out
High visibility with leadership
Direct impact on how HR is built and scaled
Opportunity to move beyond transactional HR into true business partnership
Environment where initiative and ownership matter more than tenure
About Delavan Holdings Delavan Holdings is a shared services organization supporting a diverse portfolio of businesses across multiple states. Our culture is rooted in servant leadership, accountability, and continuous improvement, with a strong focus on building teams that perform and grow.
Salary: $60,000 - $70,000
