Singapore Palo Alto Networks Full time

Company Description
**Our Mission**

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:
Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

**Our Approach to Work**

We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond

At Palo Alto Networks, we believe in the power of collaboration and value in-person interactions. This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective. This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together

They handle a wide range of HR-related inquiries and support activities (e.g., supporting core programs like perf & pay; helping Centers of Excellence like ER, Immigration, Compensation and Benefits), ensuring a smooth and positive employee experience.

Your contributions will have a profound impact on our organization, shaping the way we support our employees and drive our business forward. You'll be instrumental in elevating the employee experience to new heights, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs, and positioning HR Connect as a strategic driver of business success.
