About Business Unit:

The Colleague Experience Group (CEG) has a simple vision: to provide the best colleague experience to all the colleagues. We strive to create a workplace where colleagues feel supported, empowered, and enabled to perform at their best.

Within CEG, the Colleague & Labor Relations (CLR) team in Spain plays a key role in ensuring a fair, compliant, and constructive working environment. The team provides expert legal and labor advisory support to the business across a broad range of employment matters, helping leaders make informed decisions aligned with current labor legislation and company policies.

We interpret and apply employment laws, mitigate risks, and ensure consistency and fairness in people-related decisions.

CLR also manages relationships with employee-representative bodies, including the Works Council, leading consultations and negotiations when required.

In addition, the team delivers training and guidance to leaders on labor law topics, employment practices, and workplace policies, promoting compliance, best practices, and a positive employee relations climate.
