1What this role really is

This role is all about making our company a genuinely great place to work for everyone, especially those 'road warriors' and creatives who make our events happen. You'll lead specific initiatives that really matter, digging into what makes people tick, what causes them stress, and how we can make their daily lives better. It's not just about perks; it's about building a culture where people feel valued, supported, and can do their best work, even when things get hectic.

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)Advanced

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

Designing and launching recognition campaigns tied to company values, analysing redemption data to refine rewards, and actively promoting the platform to drive adoption and ensure it's a vibrant part of our culture.

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

Building detailed project plans from scratch for complex EX initiatives (e.g., performance review cycle redesign), creating templates for recurring programmes, managing dependencies across teams, and using the tool to report on programme progress to stakeholders.

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

Designing and building new sections of the employee knowledge base (e.g., a 'Post-Event Recovery Guide'), establishing content ownership and review cycles, and using analytics to see which resources are most/least used by our teams.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

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.

eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) for specific departments

This measures how likely our employees are to recommend working here to a friend, focusing on the teams you're directly supporting.

Target · Increase eNPS by 5 points year-over-year in targeted departments (e.g., Production, Creative).

If the Production team's eNPS was +15 last year, we'd aim for +20 this year, directly linking to your initiatives like improved 'comp time' policies or post-event support.

Regrettable Turnover Rate in high-stress roles

We track how many of our valuable, experienced people leave, especially in roles known for 'on-site burnout'.

Target · Reduce regrettable turnover in key departments (e.g., Production, Project Management) by 10%.

If we lost 10 key Project Managers last year, we'd aim to keep that number at 9 or fewer this year, with a focus on understanding *why* people leave through 'stay interviews' and exit feedback.

Employee Participation & Feedback Quality

This isn't just about how many people fill out a survey, but how much thoughtful, constructive feedback we get.

Target · Achieve 80%+ participation in relevant pulse surveys and a 20% increase in actionable open-text feedback.

After launching a new 'Post-Event Comedown' survey, 85% of 'road warriors' complete it, and we see a significant number of specific, useful suggestions for improvement, not just generic comments.

Programme Adoption & Satisfaction

Measures how many employees are actually using the new programmes or initiatives you've designed, and if they find them useful.

Target · 85%+ adoption rate for new EX programmes (e.g., new recognition platform features, wellness initiatives) and 4/5 satisfaction rating.

After launching a new 'Experiential Rewards' scheme, 90% of eligible employees engage with it within the first quarter, and feedback shows they genuinely value the unique rewards offered.

Stakeholder Trust & Influence

Are department heads and senior leaders coming to you proactively for advice on people issues, or are you always chasing them? This shows if you're seen as a credible partner.

You're regularly invited to departmental planning meetings (not just HR meetings). Leaders seek your input on team structure or tricky personnel situations. Your recommendations for culture initiatives are taken seriously and often adopted without significant pushback. People actually *listen* to your data-backed insights.

Mentee Development & Impact

If you're mentoring junior team members, are they actually growing? Are they taking on more complex tasks and showing increased confidence?

Your mentees consistently meet or exceed their development goals. They proactively seek your advice and feedback. They start leading smaller initiatives independently. Feedback from their managers (and the mentees themselves) confirms your positive impact on their growth and confidence.

Quality of Employee Journey Mapping & Insights

It's not just about drawing a map; it's about how insightful and actionable your analysis of the employee journey is, especially for unique event archetypes.

Your journey maps clearly identify previously unrecognised pain points and moments of truth. The insights you draw from these maps lead directly to concrete, impactful programme designs. Other teams refer to your journey maps as a useful tool for understanding employee behaviour.

Proactive Problem Solving & Issue Anticipation

Are you just reacting to problems, or are you spotting potential issues before they blow up? This is about being ahead of the curve, especially with 'on-site burnout' risks.

You present solutions to potential issues (e.g., pre-empting 'post-event comedown' dips in morale) before they become widespread complaints. You identify patterns in feedback that suggest systemic issues, not just isolated incidents, and propose preventative measures. You're seen as someone who thinks a few steps ahead.

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 real buzz when you hear positive feedback about a new programme you've launched, or when you see a team's morale improve after you've helped address their concerns. It's about seeing your work directly impact someone's daily happiness and well-being at work.

An employee tells you that the new 'post-event recovery' initiative you championed genuinely helped them avoid burnout after a particularly gruelling activation, allowing them to come back refreshed.

Solving Complex Human-Centric Puzzles

You love digging into 'why' things are happening – why are people leaving the Production team? Why do Creative staff feel less engaged? You enjoy analysing data, talking to people, and then designing solutions that actually work, rather than just quick fixes.

You take a deep dive into feedback from 'road warriors', identify a common pain point around travel logistics, and then design a new, streamlined process that significantly reduces their pre-event stress.

Building a Strong, Inclusive Culture

You're driven by the idea of creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive, regardless of their role or background. This means actively championing DEIB initiatives and ensuring our culture supports psychological safety.

You successfully implement a new feedback mechanism that encourages junior staff to speak up during high-stakes creative reviews, leading to more diverse ideas and a stronger sense of inclusion.

What frustrates people

Having a brilliant idea for an initiative, only for it to be deprioritised because of an 'urgent' client request.
Dealing with leaders who pay lip service to 'employee experience' but don't commit the necessary resources or time.
The sheer volume of emotional labour involved in being the go-to person for employee concerns.
Trying to create a consistent, inclusive experience for our 'freelancer bench' when their needs and legal statuses are so different.
The difficulty in getting honest, constructive feedback from exhausted teams after a big event, despite your best efforts.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 working pattern – especially around major events.
Direct authority to mandate changes across departments; you'll need to earn influence.
A role where every single initiative you design makes it to full deployment and is universally loved.
A job where you're never challenged on the value or ROI of your work.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences our ability to attract, retain, and motivate top talent in a highly competitive and demanding industry. Your work improves productivity by reducing friction points, builds a stronger, more inclusive culture, and ultimately helps us deliver better events for our clients by ensuring our people are at their best. Get it right, and we're known as a brilliant place to work; get it wrong, and we'll struggle to keep up.

7What you need before you start

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

Proven experience (5+ years) in an Employee Experience, HR, or People Operations role, ideally within a fast-paced agency or events environment.
Demonstrable experience leading and delivering at least 2-3 significant employee-facing programmes or initiatives from start to finish.
Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret complex data sets (e.g., survey results, HRIS reports) and draw actionable insights.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of influencing stakeholders at various levels.
A solid understanding of the employee lifecycle and key moments that matter, especially in a service-driven industry.
Experience using at least one major People Analytics/Engagement Platform (e.g., Culture Amp) and a Project Management tool (e.g., Asana) at an advanced level.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced People Analytics & Predictive Modelling

Moving beyond descriptive reporting, you'll need to start building simple predictive models (e.g., for attrition risk) and conducting more sophisticated statistical analysis to truly understand cause-and-effect in EX. This will allow us to be proactive, not just reactive.

Correlation vs. Causation · Regression Analysis (basic) · Data Integration & ETL · Predictive Modelling Principles

This month: Explore the advanced analytics features within Culture Amp or your current engagement platform.
Next quarter: Take an online course on statistical analysis for HR or basic data science (e.g., using R or Python for simple data manipulation).
Month 4-6: Work with our HRIS team to understand data integration capabilities and limitations.
Month 7-9: Attempt to build a simple correlation analysis between two EX metrics (e.g., manager effectiveness scores and team eNPS).

Quick win: Start asking 'what if?' questions of your data. Can we see any patterns that might predict future issues? Use the 'Attrition Risk Prediction' AI tool to see what it flags and try to understand why.

EX Platform Optimisation & Integration

Our tech stack isn't just a collection of tools; it needs to work together seamlessly. You'll move from using platforms effectively to actively optimising their configuration, exploring deeper integrations, and ensuring they're truly serving our strategic EX goals.

API Basics · Workflow Automation · Vendor Roadmaps & Best Practices · System Configuration & Customisation

This month: Dive into the admin settings of Culture Amp and Asana. Explore every feature you haven't used yet.
Next quarter: Attend a webinar or user conference for one of our key EX platforms to learn about advanced features and integrations.
Month 4-6: Propose and implement a small automation or integration between two of our existing tools (e.g., a Slack notification for a new HRIS onboarding step).
Month 7-9: Conduct a 'health check' of our current EX tech stack, identifying areas for optimisation or underutilised features.

Quick win: Spend an hour each week exploring the 'help' or 'advanced settings' sections of our core EX platforms. You'll be surprised what you find.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending industry webinars and conferences on employee experience, future of work, and people analytics.
Subscribing to leading HR and EX publications (e.g., HR Magazine, People Management) to stay abreast of trends.
Actively participating in online communities or forums dedicated to employee experience professionals.
Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or take on stretch assignments that broaden your programme leadership skills.
Undertaking specific training in advanced data visualisation or storytelling to enhance your ability to present insights.

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 & Data Storytelling for EX

AI is generating more insights than ever, but it also brings ethical considerations around data privacy and bias. Your value will increasingly come from knowing how to use these tools responsibly and then translating complex AI-driven insights into human-centric stories that drive action, rather than just presenting raw data.

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

The long view:Your career path here isn't a rigid ladder; it's more like a climbing wall with many different routes to the top.

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 Senior 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

Start free and meet yours

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:

Engage with communities on behalf of a creative and cultural organisationLevel 5

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.

Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
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.
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.
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.
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 honest, the 'Employee Experience Manager' role can be a whirlwind of data, feedback, and communication. What if you could spend less time on the grunt work and more time on the truly impactful stuff—like genuinely connecting with our people and designing game-changing initiatives? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing human connection; we're talking about smart tools that free you up from repetitive tasks. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that helps you sift through mountains of survey data or drafts that tricky policy document in minutes. This isn't science fiction; it's happening now, and we want you to be at the forefront of it.

Survey Sentiment & Theme Analysis

Use AI to instantly analyse thousands of open-ended comments from engagement surveys, automatically tagging them by theme (e.g., 'Compensation', 'Management', 'Workload') and sentiment (Positive, Negative, Neutral). This means you get to the core insights in minutes, not days, allowing you to focus on *what to do* about the feedback.

Policy & Comms First Drafts

Got a new 'Post-Event Comp Time Policy' to write? Or a sensitive all-company communication about an organisational change? Use a generative AI assistant to create a solid first draft based on industry best practices and our internal guidelines. You'll then refine it, adding your human touch and specific company context, saving you hours of staring at a blank page.

Personalised Onboarding Journeys

AI can help you create and automate customised onboarding plans and communications. Imagine a new Creative Director getting a different, more relevant onboarding journey than a new Logistics Coordinator, all tailored to their role, location, and seniority. This ensures a truly engaging and efficient experience for every new hire, without you manually building each one.

Idea Generation & Brainstorming

Stuck for ideas on how to improve 'on-site burnout' or boost morale after a tough event? Use AI as a brainstorming partner. Give it your challenge and constraints, and it can generate a dozen creative, low-cost, high-impact ideas in seconds. It's like having an extra team member to bounce ideas off, without the coffee breaks.

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 Senior 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.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to. Build my plan, free Here's the first ten minutes: a 2-minute confidence check → your personalised roadmap → meet the tutors matched to you. No card, cancel any time. No card. Build your plan, see your roadmap and meet the twelve tutors matched to you. All free. When you're ready to start learning, it's £70 a month, billed monthly. Cancel any time and billing stops.
