HR Generalist: Benefits, Wellness & Leave Management Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes "About the Role" content is present. Responsibilities: we have many bullet points under Key Responsibilities. Requirements: there is a "Minimum Qualifications:" list. Also there is "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" which could be Skills. There's also "Physical Demands" maybe not a section we need; but we could include under Requirements? The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - About the Role: paragraph(s) describing role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Benefits Administration & Employee Support, Wellness Program Coordination, Leave Management Administration, HR Generalist Core Responsibilities). We'll output as

• items. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: maybe we could combine with Requirements? But we have separate sections: Requirements and Qualifications. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications:" and also "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". Could treat Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities as Skills section. Qualifications maybe we could include certifications etc? There's "CEBS, PHR, SHRM-CP, or similar HR certification preferred" under Minimum Qualifications. Also "Experience supporting multi-site HR operations..." etc. Might be part of Requirements. We'll decide: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications bullet list. Skills = Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities bullet list. Qualifications maybe we could include "Experience administering employee benefits and leave programs in a multi-site or manufacturing environment preferred" etc. But those are already in Minimum Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to treat Qualifications as maybe not needed if content overlaps. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). We have content for Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). We have content for Responsibilities. We have About the Role. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not explicitly stated. No mention of pay or schedule specifics. Benefits: there is mention of benefits administration but not employee benefits offered. So we should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. Thus output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. We need to use

  for each heading. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, safety standard? The safety standard section is substantive? It's about safety expectations; could be considered part of responsibilities? But it's a separate section about safety. The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Safety standard might be considered part of company policy but not boilerplate? It's not EEO; it's about safety. Might be considered part of responsibilities? However it's a distinct block about safety standards. Should we keep? It's substantive info about safety expectations. The instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. Safety is not legal boilerplate; it's about workplace safety. Could be kept. But we don't have a heading for Safety; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as a bullet? But we must preserve all substantive information; we could add a bullet under Responsibilities about safety compliance. However the safety section is a paragraph with multiple sentences. Might be better to create a separate section? But headings limited to predefined list; we could add a

    Safety

    but not in the list. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings only; but we could still use other headings? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could add a Safety heading if there is content. But to be safe, maybe we incorporate safety into Responsibilities as a bullet. Similarly, AKG Way section (Teamwork, Respecting others, Accountability, Being part of the solution) is substantive; could be part of Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "AKG Way". But not in list. Could incorporate into Responsibilities as bullet. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can embed those as list items under Responsibilities. Thus we will parse the posting and extract bullet points. Let's extract content: About the Role: paragraphs: "The HR Generalist — Benefits, Wellness & Leave Management Specialist serves as a trusted employee resource and key functional specialist supporting benefits administration, wellness initiatives, and leave management across AKG’s NC and SD locations.
