Virtual Operations Assistant Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

As the People Operations Generalist — Learning & Onboarding, you’ll be the go-to partner for training delivery, new-hire integration, recruiting support, and day‑to‑day HR operations in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You’ll blend facilitation, program coordination, and hands-on HR administration to strengthen workforce capability and compliance across the employee lifecycle.

Your morning starts by checking the Learning Management System (LMS) dashboard to assign courses, track completions, and prepare a quick status report for production, quality, safety, and administrative teams. You pop into new hire orientation to walk employees through policies, safety and quality standards, and workplace expectations—then finalize their onboarding schedules, paperwork, and compliance training.

Midday, you huddle with supervisors and subject matter experts to confirm training needs, update job aids and presentations, and schedule cross‑training to improve flexibility on the floor. You process Training Requests, maintain accurate training records for audits, certifications, customer requirements, and regulatory standards, and evaluate feedback to fine‑tune programs. When needed, you jump in as backup to the Corporate Recruiter to post roles, screen applicants, schedule interviews, and coordinate pre‑employment activities such as background checks and employment verifications. You may also serve as backup Payroll Administrator to keep operations moving.

Before you wrap, you answer employee HR questions, update personnel files and HRIS records, generate metrics on training, turnover, staffing, attendance, and development, and ensure compliance with company policies, labor regulations, and safety requirements. You support HR projects, audits, and continuous improvement—then plan tomorrow’s training sessions, whether classroom, virtual, or on the job.
