4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Enterprise Regrettable Attrition

The percentage of high-performing or critical talent leaving the organisation that we really wanted to keep.

Target · Decrease overall regrettable attrition by 15% over a 2-year period.

If our regrettable attrition was 10% in 2024, we'd expect it to be 8.5% or lower by 2026, showing our culture initiatives are making a difference in retention.

Diversity in Leadership Representation

The percentage of women and underrepresented groups (URG) in Director-level and above roles across the business.

Target · Increase representation of women and URG in Director+ roles from 25% to 35% within 3 years.

If we currently have 250 leaders at Director+ level, and 62 are women or URG, we'd want that number to be 87 or more by the end of the three-year programme.

Glassdoor 'Recommend to a Friend' Score

The public-facing metric that shows how likely our employees are to recommend working here to a friend, a key indicator of employer brand health.

Target · Improve from 70% to 85% within 18 months.

If our current score is 72%, you'd be tracking initiatives like our new recognition programme and leadership development to push that number up to 80% and beyond.

Board Confidence Rating (Human Capital Strategy)

A qualitative assessment from the Compensation & Talent Committee of the Board on the effectiveness and strategic alignment of our human capital and culture strategy.

Target · Maintain a >90% confidence rating from the Compensation & Talent Committee on human capital strategy and risk mitigation.

This isn't a number you directly control, but it's a reflection of how well you're communicating strategy, managing risks, and showing progress on our people agenda to the highest level.

Strategic Influence

How often you're proactively consulted by the C-Suite and regional MDs on major business decisions, not just people issues.

Being invited to strategic planning sessions before they're finalised
having your input on cultural implications sought for M&A targets
C-Suite referencing your insights in public statements or investor calls.

Cultural Resilience & Adaptability

The organisation's ability to navigate significant market shifts, crises, or major transformations without losing its core values or experiencing widespread employee burnout.

Post-crisis surveys showing maintained employee trust
successful integration of a major acquisition with minimal cultural clashes
anecdotal feedback from regional leaders about how 'the culture helped us through X challenge'.

Leadership Alignment & Role Modelling

The extent to which our senior leadership team consistently demonstrates and champions the desired cultural behaviours and values, setting the example for everyone else.

Consistent messaging from leaders across different regions and functions
leaders actively participating in culture programmes
360-degree feedback showing leaders are perceived as living the values
a noticeable reduction in the 'say-do' ratio.

Global Cultural Cohesion

The feeling that, despite our international differences, we're all part of one company with shared purpose and values, rather than a collection of disconnected regional entities.

Increased cross-regional collaboration on projects
consistent performance on global engagement metrics
positive feedback in focus groups about a 'one company' feeling
reduced 'us vs. them' mentality between headquarters and regions.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Strategic Impact & Organisational Transformation

You're driven by the idea of shaping the long-term direction of a global company, not just ticking boxes. You'll thrive on seeing your vision for culture translate into tangible improvements in business performance and employee well-being.

Leading the complete overhaul of our global leadership development programme, knowing it will fundamentally change how our future leaders operate and impact thousands of employees.

Solving Complex, Multi-faceted People Problems

You love digging into really tough, ambiguous challenges that involve human behaviour, data, and business strategy. The messier the problem, the more engaged you become, especially when it spans different countries and cultures.

Diagnosing why attrition is spiking in a specific region, uncovering it's a mix of local management style, compensation issues, and a lack of career paths, then building a comprehensive plan to fix it.

Building & Empowering Global Teams

You get a real buzz from developing and leading a diverse team of culture experts across different geographies. You're passionate about helping them grow, giving them autonomy, and seeing them deliver impactful work.

Mentoring a regional culture lead to successfully launch a new DEIB initiative in their market, seeing them gain confidence and deliver strong results.

What frustrates people

The constant battle to prove the ROI of culture work to financially-focused executives.
Dealing with 'executive lip service' where values are preached but not practised by some leaders.
Navigating complex global politics and regional resistance to centralised initiatives.
The slow pace of cultural change and the need for relentless persistence.
Managing employee cynicism and survey fatigue when visible action isn't immediate.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable, or purely analytical role without significant human interaction.
A role where you can avoid difficult conversations with senior leaders.
A role with immediate, easily quantifiable results for every initiative.
A role where you don't have to deal with messy, ambiguous human problems.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes our entire organisational strategy and market position. You're not just 'doing HR'; you're making sure we're building a company that's resilient, attractive to top talent, and capable of executing its multi-year vision. Your decisions will influence everything from how we integrate new acquisitions to how we respond to global talent trends, directly impacting our long-term profitability and reputation.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Storytelling for Board & Investors

The Board and investors are increasingly scrutinising human capital metrics as part of ESG and long-term value creation. You'll need to move beyond standard dashboards to craft highly compelling, narrative-driven data visualisations that clearly link culture, talent, and business performance, often under pressure.

Narrative Structure for Data · Visualisation Best Practices (Executive) · Impact Quantification · Scenario Planning with Data

This month: Review our last 5 Board presentations. Identify areas where data storytelling could be more impactful.
Next quarter: Work with an external communications coach specifically on 'Presenting Data to Boards'.
Month 6: Develop a new, narrative-driven template for your quarterly human capital report to the Board.
Month 9: Seek direct feedback from Board members on the clarity and impact of your data presentations.

Quick win: Start by simplifying your existing reports. Cut out jargon, use fewer numbers but make them more impactful, and always lead with the 'so what?' for the business.

Neurodiversity Inclusion Strategy

Recognising and actively including neurodivergent talent (e.g., autistic, ADHD, dyslexic individuals) is moving from a niche HR topic to a strategic imperative for innovation and talent acquisition. You'll need to design and implement enterprise-wide programmes that create truly inclusive environments for all cognitive styles across our global operations.

Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage · Inclusive Recruitment & Onboarding · Workplace Adjustments & Support Systems · Manager Training for Neuro-inclusion

This week: Read 'Neurotribes' by Steve Silberman to build foundational understanding.
This month: Engage with a leading neurodiversity consulting firm to understand best practices for global organisations.
Month 2: Launch a pilot 'Neurodiversity in the Workplace' training programme for a leadership cohort.
Month 3: Develop a 3-year strategic roadmap for neurodiversity inclusion across our global business.

Quick win: Review your current recruitment materials and internal communications for inclusive language. Start a conversation with your L&D team about integrating neuro-inclusion into existing manager training.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly engage with industry thought leaders and research from organisations like Gartner, Deloitte, and Mercer on global culture and talent trends.
Participate in executive-level peer networks or forums focused on Chief People Officer or Culture Officer challenges.
Seek out opportunities for public speaking or publishing articles on global culture, DEIB, or employee experience.
Actively mentor emerging leaders within the People & Culture function and across the business.
Commit to continuous learning in areas like AI ethics, advanced people analytics, and neurodiversity inclusion.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Ethical AI in Human Capital Strategy

AI is rapidly moving beyond simple automation into areas like predictive analytics for talent, automated candidate screening, and even personalised learning paths. As a leader, you'll need to ensure our use of AI in people processes is not only effective but also fair, transparent, and free from bias. Regulators and employees will demand it.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years.

Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how VP, Global People & Culture is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, at this level, your time is precious. You shouldn't be bogged down by manual analysis or routine communication. AI isn't here to replace your strategic brain; it's here to free it up. Imagine cutting through the noise, getting to insights faster, and communicating with unparalleled precision across our global footprint. That's the power AI brings to this VP role.

We're not just dabbling in AI; we're integrating it deeply into how our People & Culture team operates. For a VP, this means moving beyond basic automation to using advanced AI models for strategic foresight, global communication, and evidence-based decision-making. You'll be leading the charge, showing your team how to get more done, more accurately, and with greater impact, letting you focus on the big, thorny cultural challenges that only human leadership can solve.

Sentiment Analysis Automation

Instantly process and theme thousands of open-text comments from engagement surveys, exit interviews, and internal forums using advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP). Go from raw, unstructured data to a high-level summary of 'what people are really saying' across different regions and demographics in minutes, not weeks. This frees your team from manual coding and lets you focus on the 'so what?'.

Predictive Attrition Modelling

Use machine learning models to analyse dozens of variables—things like manager changes, time since last promotion, engagement scores, and internal network activity—to flag high-value employees who are at risk of leaving. This shifts your team's focus from reactive 'exit interviews' to proactive, high-impact 'stay interviews,' allowing you to intervene and retain critical talent before it's too late. It's about foresight, not hindsight.

Global Communication Customisation

Draft a core message about a new cultural initiative or policy update, then use a generative AI tool to instantly adapt the tone, examples, and local nuances for different regional offices. Imagine asking, 'Rephrase this to be less direct for our Japanese team' or 'Add a local sports analogy for the UK office.' This ensures your message resonates culturally, saving countless hours of manual rewriting and cross-cultural review.

Intelligent Policy Benchmarking

Deploy an AI agent to scan, analyse, and summarise the latest DEIB reports, parental leave policies, and flexible work arrangements from your top 10 competitors and 5 'best-in-class' companies globally. This provides an instant, comprehensive landscape analysis, condensing what used to be 15-20 hours of manual web research and document review into a 1-hour task, giving you the data to make informed strategic decisions.

Common questions

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP, Global People & Culture, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 2 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a VP, Global People & Culture: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.
