1What this role really is

This isn't your average HR role, not by a long shot. You'll be the person making sure our 'road warriors' – those incredible folks who live and breathe event activations – feel supported, heard, and genuinely valued. It’s about crafting moments that matter for our own people, just like we do for our clients. You'll be the pulse-taker, the problem-solver, and frankly, the empathetic ear for a team that often works incredibly hard under immense pressure. Think of it as internal marketing, but for our most important asset: our colleagues.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

People Analytics & Engagement Platform (e.g., Culture Amp, Lattice)Intermediate

Launching pre-built pulse surveys, exporting raw data to Excel for initial analysis, navigating dashboards to find specific metrics like eNPS for the Creative team, and identifying initial trends in engagement.

HRIS (e.g., BambooHR, Rippling)Advanced

Processing new hires, managing employee data entry with high accuracy, pulling standard reports on headcount and demographics, and answering employee queries about PTO balances and basic policies.

Collaboration & Comms (e.g., Slack, MS Teams)Expert

Managing relevant channels (#kudos, #new-hires), using polls and simple workflows, ensuring key announcements are posted and pinned, and fostering a sense of community through digital communication.

Peer Recognition Platform (e.g., Bonusly, Kudos)Advanced

Administering the programme, adding/removing users, answering employee questions, pulling monthly reports on recognition activity, and promoting the platform to drive adoption.

Project & Initiative Management (e.g., Asana, Monday.com)Intermediate

Managing and updating tasks for EX projects (e.g., wellness week logistics), tracking progress against checklists, and communicating status updates within the tool.

Knowledge Management (e.g., Notion, Confluence)Intermediate

Updating existing pages in the employee handbook, formatting content according to templates, ensuring links are working, and helping to organise information for easy access by employees.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Programme Design & ChangesPropose minor adjustments to existing programmes to supervisor.Independently adapt and refine existing programmes based on feedback; propose new small-scale initiatives to Lead.Design and implement significant new programmes or overhaul existing ones, with strategic input from Director.
Budget Allocation (Programme Specific)No budget authority. Escalate all spending requests.Approve spending up to £500 for programme-related items (e.g., welcome gifts, recognition platform rewards) within approved budget. Escalate anything larger.Manage programme budgets up to £5K, making spending decisions and tracking against targets. Recommend larger investments to Director.
Employee Feedback & Issue ResolutionEscalate all employee complaints or sensitive feedback to supervisor immediately.Handle routine employee queries and feedback independently. Identify trends in feedback and propose solutions to Lead for review. Escalate sensitive or complex issues.Lead resolution of complex employee experience issues, often involving multiple departments. Make recommendations for policy changes based on systemic feedback.
Internal CommunicationsDraft communications for supervisor review and approval.Draft and send routine internal communications related to EX programmes (e.g., survey launches, recognition updates) after review by Lead. For sensitive topics, get full approval.Own the communication strategy for major EX initiatives, drafting and approving messages for broad internal distribution.

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.

Onboarding Satisfaction Score
Average score from new hires (both FTE and key freelancers) on their onboarding experience within their first 30 days.
Target · 85% or higher

If 10 new hires rate their onboarding, and the average is 88%, you're doing well. If it drops to 70%, we need to figure out why quickly.

Peer Recognition Platform Usage
Percentage of active employees (FTE and regular freelancers) who send or receive recognition on our platform each month.
Target · 70% monthly active users

If we have 100 employees, we want at least 70 of them giving or getting kudos. It shows people are feeling seen.

Pulse Survey Participation Rate
Percentage of targeted employees who complete short, specific pulse surveys (e.g., post-event feedback).
Target · 75% participation

After a big event, if we send a survey to 50 'road warriors' and only 25 respond, we're missing crucial feedback. We need more eyes on those.

HRIS Data Accuracy
Percentage of employee records in our HRIS that are free from errors (e.g., incorrect start dates, missing contact info, wrong department).
Target · 95%+ accuracy

If a quarterly audit of 100 records finds 7 errors, that's 93% accuracy – not quite hitting the target. We need to be meticulous here.

Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot potential employee experience issues before they become major problems or complaints.
  • You're bringing concerns to your Lead before they're escalated by others. You're noticing trends in informal feedback or low-level grumbles, and proposing solutions. For example, you might flag increasing 'on-site burnout' comments from pulse surveys and suggest a new 'comp time' policy.
Programme Engagement & Feedback Quality
The level of genuine, constructive feedback you receive on your programmes, indicating true employee buy-in and perceived value.
  • Employees are actively participating in your initiatives and offering suggestions for improvement, not just going through the motions. You're getting specific, thoughtful comments in surveys or direct conversations, showing they trust you and believe their input matters. For instance, a new hire might suggest a specific improvement to the onboarding checklist that you can then implement.
Internal Communication Clarity & Impact
How clearly and effectively you communicate about EX programmes and initiatives to the wider team.
  • You're getting fewer 'what was that email about?' questions. People know where to find information about the recognition platform or the wellness week. Your Slack announcements get good engagement (reactions, replies), and key information is understood across departments, from Creative to Production.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference to People's Lives

You'll feel a genuine buzz when you see a new hire thriving thanks to your onboarding programme, or when someone thanks you for implementing a 'comp time' policy that saved their weekend.

Receiving an email from a 'road warrior' saying the post-event wellness initiative you launched made a real difference to their recovery.

Solving Complex Human Puzzles

You're energised by digging into survey data to understand why a specific team is feeling disengaged, then figuring out a practical, human-centred solution.

Analysing 'post-event comedown' feedback and proposing a new structured debrief and recovery plan that actually works.

Building and Nurturing Community

You'll enjoy creating spaces and programmes where colleagues feel connected, recognised, and part of something bigger, whether it's through a peer recognition platform or an internal event.

Seeing the recognition platform light up with kudos after a successful activation, knowing you helped build that culture.

What frustrates people
  • Constantly having to justify the 'value' of employee experience to leaders who only see direct revenue.
  • Battling 'survey fatigue' to get meaningful feedback from exhausted event teams.
  • Dealing with the 'always on' culture that makes work-life balance a constant uphill battle.
  • The emotional labour of being the go-to person for everyone's stress and complaints.
  • Building a brilliant programme only to see it deprioritised for an 'urgent' client request.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 schedule – especially around major events.
  • Direct authority over other departments or large budgets without significant persuasion.
  • A role where you can avoid difficult conversations or emotional situations.
  • The ability to make sweeping changes overnight; progress is often incremental.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to attract and keep top talent, especially those 'road warriors' who are the backbone of our experiential activations. Better employee experience means less burnout, higher morale, and ultimately, better client work. It's about making sure our internal culture reflects the amazing experiences we create for our clients. If our people aren't happy, our clients won't be either, simple as that.

Inside the business
  • Creative Directors and their teams
  • Production & Logistics Leads
  • Finance Department
  • Talent Acquisition Team
  • Senior Leadership Team (for updates)
Outside the business
  • Freelance contractors (for onboarding and engagement)
  • Vendor partners for recognition platforms or wellness programmes

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in an HR, People Operations, or Employee Experience role, ideally within a fast-paced or creative industry.
  • Demonstrable experience managing a specific HR or EX programme (e.g., onboarding, recognition, internal communications).
  • A proven ability to analyse data (even if basic) and identify trends from employee feedback.
  • Strong organisational skills and a track record of managing multiple tasks accurately and efficiently.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for empathy and clarity.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced People Analytics Platform Configuration & Reporting

Moving beyond just pulling standard reports, you'll need to be able to design custom dashboards, configure new survey modules, and truly dig into the data to uncover deeper insights. This allows us to tailor our listening strategy more precisely to the unique challenges of our events teams.

Custom dashboard creation and data visualisation w · Segmenting data by department, tenure, and role ty · Designing custom survey questions and logic flows · Integrating platform data with other HR systems (e · Advanced text analytics for open-ended feedback

  • This month: Explore all the advanced reporting features within our current engagement platform. Watch vendor tutorials.
  • Next quarter: Propose and build one custom dashboard for a specific department (e.g., Production) to highlight their unique engagement drivers.
  • Month 4-6: Work with your Lead to design and launch a new, targeted pulse survey module within the platform.
  • Ongoing: Look for opportunities to integrate data from the engagement platform with other sources to tell a richer story (e.g., linking engagement to project success metrics).

Quick win: Take ownership of one specific report you currently run and try to make it 20% more insightful by adding a new data point or visualisation from the platform's advanced features.

Workflow Automation & Integration (Basic)

Many routine EX tasks, like onboarding reminders, recognition triggers, or survey follow-ups, can be automated. Understanding how to connect different tools (e.g., HRIS to Slack, or recognition platform to a project management tool) will free up significant time and reduce manual errors, making processes smoother for everyone.

Understanding 'If This Then That' (IFTTT) logic · Basic API concepts (what they are, not how to code · Using integration platforms (e.g., Zapier, Microso · Automating notifications and reminders across plat · Streamlining data transfer between systems

  • This month: Identify one repetitive manual task in your current role that takes more than 30 minutes a week.
  • Next quarter: Research how our current tools (HRIS, Slack, Asana) can be integrated using Zapier or similar platforms.
  • Month 4-6: Work with IT or your Lead to implement one simple automation (e.g., 'When new hire added to HRIS, send welcome message to Slack channel').
  • Ongoing: Look for other opportunities to automate routine tasks, even small ones, to free up your time for more impactful work.

Quick win: Set up an automated Slack reminder for your team to give recognition on Bonusly every Friday afternoon. It's a small thing, but it helps drive engagement without you lifting a finger.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars or conferences focused on employee engagement, culture, or the future of work (e.g., HR Tech, Employee Engagement Summit).
  • Joining online communities or forums for EX professionals to share best practices and learn from peers.
  • Reading books and articles on behavioural psychology, organisational culture, and design thinking applied to employee experience.
  • Taking short online courses on data analysis, survey design, or internal communications to bolster your technical toolkit.

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: Advanced Data Storytelling

It's not enough to just pull data; you need to tell a compelling story with it. Leaders are drowning in numbers, but they'll listen to a narrative that explains *why* something is happening and *what* it means for the business. This is crucial for getting buy-in for your initiatives, especially when battling for budget against client-facing projects.

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

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

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. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. 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 Employee Experience Manager 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.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you've got a lot on your plate. From onboarding new hires to making sense of mountains of survey feedback, there's always more to do than hours in the day. But what if you could get a serious chunk of your time back every week? We're talking about using smart AI tools to handle the grunt work, leaving you free to focus on the human stuff that truly matters.

Here's the thing: AI isn't here to replace the human element of employee experience; it's here to supercharge it. For an Employee Experience Manager in our fast-paced events world, that means less time sifting through data or drafting routine comms, and more time connecting with our 'road warriors' and designing truly impactful programmes. Think of AI as your super-efficient, always-on assistant.

Survey Sentiment Analysis

Imagine instantly understanding the mood of thousands of open-ended comments from your post-event pulse surveys. AI tools can automatically tag feedback by theme (e.g., 'Compensation,' 'Workload,' 'Leadership') and sentiment (positive, negative, neutral). No more manual sifting through hundreds of comments – you'll get the gist in minutes, letting you spot 'on-site burnout' trends before they escalate.

Policy & Comms First Drafts

Need to draft a new 'Post-Event Comp Time Policy' or a sensitive all-company message about an organisational change? Use a generative AI assistant to create a solid first draft in minutes. It'll pull from best practices and your own inputs, saving you hours of staring at a blank screen. You'll then refine it, adding your human touch and company voice, but the heavy lifting is done.

Personalised Onboarding Journeys

Every new hire is different, especially in our hybrid world. AI can help you create and automate customised onboarding plans and communications based on a new starter's role (e.g., Creative vs. Logistics), location (remote vs. HQ), and seniority. This ensures a relevant and engaging experience for every 'road warrior' or office-based strategist, without you manually tweaking every email and checklist.

Idea Generation for Engagement

Stuck for ideas for your next wellness week or team-building activity? Feed an AI assistant your constraints (e.g., 'low budget, remote-friendly, boosts morale after a big event') and watch it generate a dozen creative suggestions. It's like having a brainstorming partner on demand, helping you find novel ways to combat 'post-event comedown' or foster 'psychological safety'.

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 an Employee Experience Manager, 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 10 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 an Employee Experience Manager: 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.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role – deep empathy, data-driven problem-solving, programme management, and influencing without authority – are highly transferable. You could easily move into similar EX or People Operations roles in other fast-paced, creative, or project-based industries like tech, media, or even large-scale hospitality. Your unique understanding of the 'road warrior' experience will be particularly valuable.
