People Operations

Others might call this human resources, as our most important core value is to care about people we call this People Operations instead. It has special constraints and is partly regulated by law. PeopleOps is the personnel administration of VSHN. This includes routine tasks of the personnel management, doing all the adminstration work from hiring VSHNeers over helping them with various administrative matters, paying their salaries, handling contract changes and making sure, even if unfortunate, an off-boarding happens as smooth as possible for both parties.
