1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure our employees have a genuinely good time at work, right from their first day. You'll be the person behind the scenes, helping to run our engagement surveys, organising feedback sessions, and generally making sure our People team knows what's really going on with our colleagues. It's a foundational role, really, where you'll learn the ropes of how we listen to our people and try to make things better for them.

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
Survey Content ChangesIdentify potential issues (e.g., typos, unclear wording) and flag to manager. Do NOT change content independently.Propose minor wording adjustments for clarity, get manager approval. Escalate significant changes to manager/stakeholders.Recommend and implement minor survey content changes within approved framework. Consult on major changes.
Programme Logistics (e.g., event planning)Execute tasks as instructed (e.g., book rooms, send invites). Escalate any issues or questions to manager.Plan and manage logistics for small to medium-sized events/programmes independently, within budget. Inform manager of progress.Design and oversee logistics for complex programmes. Authorise vendor selection up to £5K. Inform manager of key decisions.

Consult manager on new data requests or complex data issues.Define data governance best practices for EX. Approve data blending methodologies. Consult on data privacy implications.

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.

Survey Participation Rate Support
Helping to ensure a high number of employees complete our surveys.
Target · Contribute to >85% participation rate for assigned surveys

For the Q3 pulse survey, you'll help send reminders and answer basic queries, contributing to the overall 87% completion rate.

Data Accuracy & Timeliness
Making sure the employee demographic data for surveys is correct and uploaded on time.
Target · 100% accuracy in data uploads; reports distributed within 48 hours of survey close

You'll prepare the employee list for the annual engagement survey, ensuring no errors in department or tenure data, and have it ready for upload by the deadline.

Programme Logistics Support Quality
How well you organise and support EX events, focus groups, or communication campaigns.
Target · 90% positive feedback on logistics support from participants/managers

After a series of employee focus groups, the manager running them will confirm that all invites were sent, rooms booked, and materials prepared perfectly.

Query Resolution Time
How quickly you respond to and resolve basic employee queries related to EX programmes.
Target · Resolve 80% of queries within 24 hours

An employee asks why they didn't receive a survey link; you investigate and resend it within 3 hours, closing the loop with them.

Learning & Application
How quickly you pick up new tools and processes, and apply them correctly.
  • You'll be able to run standard reports in Qualtrics without much help after a month. You'll ask good questions, showing you're thinking about how things work. Your manager won't need to correct basic process steps repeatedly.
Team Collaboration & Support
Your willingness to jump in and help the wider People team, and how well you work with others.
  • Other team members will mention you're helpful and responsive. You'll offer to assist with tasks outside your immediate remit if you have capacity. You're a good listener in team meetings and contribute constructively.
Attention to Detail
The accuracy and thoroughness of your work, especially with data and communications.
  • You'll spot a typo in a survey communication before it goes out. Data uploads will be clean, with no missing fields. You'll double-check your work before handing it over, catching small errors yourself.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Real Difference to People's Work Lives

You'll feel a genuine sense of satisfaction when you see a survey result improve, or when an employee thanks you for helping them with a query. You're driven by the idea that your work helps create a better place to work for everyone.

Seeing the eNPS score for a particular team go up after a manager implemented changes you helped identify. That's a real win.

Learning & Growing in HR/People Analytics

You're eager to learn new software, understand HR concepts, and get your head around how data can tell a story about people. You'll actively seek out training and ask questions to deepen your understanding.

Spending extra time to understand how a particular Qualtrics report is built, so you can replicate it next time, rather than just asking for help.

Working in a Supportive Team Environment

You enjoy collaborating with colleagues, helping out where needed, and feeling like part of a cohesive unit. You're happy to contribute to team goals and celebrate collective successes.

Volunteering to help a colleague with a tight deadline, even if it's not strictly 'your' task, because you value team success.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Action-Planning Black Hole': You'll help managers get their survey results, but getting them to actually *do* something with them can be like pulling teeth. It's frustrating when great insights don't lead to action.
  • Being the 'Chief Feelings Officer' without the power: Employees might come to you with all sorts of complaints (about IT, facilities, even their boss), and while you can listen and document, you often lack the direct authority to fix the root cause.
  • Survey Fatigue is Real: Sometimes, leadership wants more and more data, and you're caught between trying to get employees to complete *another* survey and knowing they're probably fed up with them.
  • The Anonymity Paradox: You'll be assuring employees their feedback is anonymous, while leaders want really granular data. It's a constant tightrope walk to maintain trust.
What this role does not give you
  • Direct people management responsibilities (not at this level).
  • Full strategic autonomy over EX programmes (you'll be supporting, not leading the strategy).
  • The ability to unilaterally implement large-scale organisational changes.

6Who you work with

Your work helps us gather the ground-level insights that inform our People strategy. You're making sure the data we collect is clean and timely, which directly impacts how quickly and accurately we can respond to employee feedback. Get it right, and we make better decisions; get it wrong, and we might be making decisions based on faulty information, which isn't great for anyone.

Inside the business
  • Employee Experience Manager (your direct boss)
  • HR Business Partners (who work directly with teams)
  • Internal Communications team
  • IT Support (for platform issues)
Outside the business
  • Survey platform vendors (e.g., Qualtrics support)
  • External event suppliers (for employee events)

7What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in Human Resources and making a positive impact on people's working lives.
  • Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) or Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides).
  • Experience working in an office environment, even if it's an internship or part-time role.
  • Strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail.
  • The ability to communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Visualisation (Tableau/Power BI)

Simply put, pretty charts aren't enough anymore. Leaders want interactive dashboards that tell a clear story and let them dig into the data themselves. You'll move beyond basic charts to building more dynamic and insightful visualisations.

Dashboard Design Principles · Calculated Fields · Parameters & Filters · Storytelling with Data

  • This quarter: Take an online course on advanced Tableau or Power BI dashboard design.
  • Next quarter: Volunteer to build a small, interactive dashboard for a specific team's survey results.
  • Month 6: Start experimenting with blending data from Qualtrics and Workday in your chosen visualisation tool.
  • Ongoing: Seek feedback from users on your dashboards – what works, what doesn't, what else do they need?

Quick win: Re-create one of our existing static reports as an interactive dashboard (even if just for practice). You'll quickly see the difference.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Join relevant HR communities or forums online (e.g., LinkedIn groups for HR professionals).
  • Read industry blogs or articles about employee engagement and experience.
  • Attend free webinars on HR tech or data visualisation tools.
  • Seek out mentorship opportunities within the People team.
  • Take advantage of any internal training programmes we offer on our EX platforms.

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 Coordinator 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.

Where it leads

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:

Administer human resource recordsLevel 3

Applied to your work in Employee Experience Coordinator

This unit aims to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to administer human resource records effectively. Learners will understand organisational and legal requirements, create and maintain personnel files, and report Human Resource information accurately and confidentially. Upon completion, learners will be able to apply these skills in a practical setting.

One to one, not one to many

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.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the admin in EX can be a bit of a grind. But what if you could offload some of that to AI? We're talking about getting back valuable hours every week, freeing you up to focus on the more interesting, human-centric parts of the job. This isn't about replacing you; it's about making you incredibly efficient.

In this role, you'll be learning how to use AI tools to make your daily tasks quicker and more accurate. Think of it as having a super-smart assistant who can handle the repetitive stuff, leaving you to focus on connecting with people and understanding their needs. It's about working smarter, not harder.

Automated Comment Theming

Imagine having thousands of open-text survey comments. Instead of manually reading and categorising them for days, AI can instantly group them into themes like 'Compensation,' 'Manager Support,' or 'Work-Life Balance.' You'll then review and refine, saving you loads of time.

First-Draft Communications

Need to draft a survey launch announcement or a reminder email? AI can whip up a first draft in minutes, tailored to our brand voice and audience. You'll then tweak it, add your personal touch, and send it out, massively cutting down on your writing time.

Best-Practice Research Assistant

Got a question about 'best practices for remote onboarding'? Instead of sifting through countless articles, an AI assistant can summarise the top 5 components for you, complete with sources. It's like having a dedicated research librarian at your fingertips.

Basic Report Generation

For standard reports, AI can help you structure the data, identify key trends, and even suggest initial visualisations. While you'll still do the final analysis and interpretation, it gives you a huge head start on getting the raw data into a presentable format.

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 Coordinator, 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 5 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 Coordinator: 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.

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Human Resources

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role—understanding employee needs, data analysis, programme management, and influencing—are highly transferable. You could move into broader HR roles, People Analytics, Organisational Development, Internal Communications, or even roles in Customer Experience, as the principles are often quite similar.
