The main role of the Social Management Controller (SMC), also known as the HR Research Officer, is to put people at the heart of the statistics.

However, the job of the SMC should not be confused with that of the management controller, who is responsible for the financial management of the company.

• Collect information on the company’s payroll (time management, strikes, mobility, turnover, absenteeism, etc.),
• Carry out monthly data reporting,
• Drawing up compulsory documents: social report, compulsory annual declaration of employment of disabled workers, NAO, etc,
• To propose actions to human resources to improve the management of the wage bill,
• Calculate the costs of the HR policy.
