5What 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 in Where you are nowThe step above
Responding to Employee Queries Follow established FAQs and scripts. Escalate any complex or sensitive queries to your manager immediately. Independently resolve most routine queries. Know when to escalate exceptions or highly sensitive cases. Handle all queries, including complex and sensitive ones. Develop new FAQs and training for junior staff.
Organising Wellbeing Events Execute logistical tasks (room booking, invites, supplies) under direct guidance. All content and vendor selection is decided by manager. Plan and execute smaller, routine events independently. Propose vendors for approval. Design, plan, and execute complex regional events from start to finish. Select and manage vendors within budget.
Drafting Communications Draft communications using templates provided. All content requires review and approval from manager before sending. Independently draft and send routine communications. Manager reviews critical or new messaging. Own the communication strategy for specific programmes. Draft and approve most communications, setting tone and style.
Vendor Interaction Handle basic administrative tasks (e.g., user list updates, chasing support tickets) with vendors. All contract discussions or issue resolution escalated to manager. Manage day-to-day vendor relationships for specific programmes. Troubleshoot routine issues. Provide input on vendor performance. Lead vendor selection and negotiation for specific programmes. Manage overall vendor performance and relationships.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Programme Participation Rate
The percentage of eligible employees who sign up for or attend specific wellbeing initiatives you've supported.
Target · Achieve >25% engagement in initiatives you've helped launch or promote.

If you've helped promote a new mindfulness series, we'd expect at least 25% of the target audience to sign up. So, if 100 people were invited, 25 should join.

Employee Query Resolution Time
How quickly you respond to and resolve employee questions about wellbeing benefits or programmes.
Target · Resolve 95% of employee queries within a 48-hour service level agreement (SLA).

An employee asks about Gympass membership on Monday; you'd aim to get them a full answer or solution by Wednesday afternoon at the latest.

Event Feedback Score
The average satisfaction rating from employees who attend wellbeing events or workshops you've helped organise.
Target · Maintain an average feedback score of 4.0/5.0 or higher on post-event surveys.

After a virtual yoga session you've organised, the survey comes back with an average rating of 4.2 – that's a good result.

Content Distribution Accuracy
How accurately and on time you distribute wellbeing communications and resources.
Target · Zero errors in content distribution (e.g., wrong links, outdated info) and 100% on-time delivery for scheduled communications.

You're sending out the monthly wellbeing newsletter; it goes out exactly on time, and all the links to resources work perfectly.

Organisational Support & Reliability
How effectively you support the wider wellbeing team and HR colleagues, and how reliable you are in your tasks.
  • You'll get a shout-out from a Wellbeing Specialist for being proactive in setting up a new vendor. Colleagues will tell your manager you're a safe pair of hands. You'll consistently deliver tasks without needing constant reminders.
Employee Experience & Helpfulness
The quality of the experience employees have when interacting with you for wellbeing support.
  • Employees will send thank-you notes for your clear guidance. You'll be the person people seek out first when they have a wellbeing query. You'll get positive mentions in internal surveys about the helpfulness of HR support.
Initiative & Learning
Your willingness to learn new things and take the initiative on tasks, even if they're outside your immediate comfort zone.
  • You'll ask thoughtful questions about 'why' we do things a certain way. You'll come to your manager with ideas for improving a process (even a small one). You'll proactively seek out training or information about new wellbeing trends.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You'll get a real kick out of helping an employee find the right mental health support, or seeing a high turnout for an event you helped organise. Knowing your work directly improves someone's day is a big driver.

An employee emails you to say the EAP information you provided was exactly what they needed, and they've now accessed support. That's a good day.

Learning & Development

You're keen to understand how a global HR function works, especially in wellbeing. You'll enjoy learning about different benefits, cultures, and how to run programmes effectively. This role offers a solid foundation.

You'll spend time understanding the nuances of our different wellbeing platforms and how they cater to various employee needs, building your expertise.

Being Part of a Supportive Team

You thrive in an environment where you can ask questions, get guidance, and contribute as part of a collective effort. You'll enjoy the camaraderie of working towards a shared goal of employee wellbeing.

You'll regularly check in with your manager and other team members, sharing updates and asking for advice when you're unsure, knowing they've got your back.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with urgent requests that mess up your carefully planned schedule.
  • Chasing colleagues for information or approvals, especially across different time zones.
  • The occasional technical glitch with a wellbeing platform that you need to troubleshoot (or escalate).
  • Explaining the same policy or benefit multiple times to different people.
  • Feeling like you're just 'processing' rather than 'creating' sometimes.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making or budget ownership.
  • Extensive travel or external representation at industry events (not at this level, anyway).
  • A quiet, predictable workload—expect some curveballs and shifting priorities.
  • The ability to completely redesign existing programmes (you'll be working within them).

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts employee engagement and satisfaction by ensuring our wellbeing programmes are accessible and well-communicated. You'll help foster a culture where people feel cared for, which in turn can reduce stress and improve overall productivity. Essentially, you're helping to make our company a better place to work, one organised event or helpful answer at a time.

Inside the business
  • HR Business Partners (HRBPs)
  • Internal Communications team
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
  • Local HR teams in different countries
Outside the business
  • Wellbeing platform vendors (e.g., Headspace, Calm)
  • EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) providers
  • Local event organisers (e.g., yoga instructors, nutritionists)

9What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in employee wellbeing and a desire to help people.
  • Strong organisational skills; you'll need to keep track of lots of different things.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Proficiency with standard office software (email, word processing, spreadsheets).
  • The ability to work effectively as part of a team, taking direction and contributing positively.
  • A knack for spotting details and ensuring accuracy in your work.

10What to practise next

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

Enhanced Data Visualisation & Interpretation

You'll be expected to do more than just pull standard reports. You'll need to start understanding what the numbers actually mean and how to present them clearly to others, even if it's just a simple chart.

Basic Chart Types · Identifying Trends · Data Storytelling (Beginner)

  • This week: Pay close attention to any dashboards or reports your team uses. What do they tell you?
  • This month: Try to recreate a simple chart from a report using Excel or a basic dashboard tool.
  • Month 2: Practice explaining a simple data trend to a colleague, focusing on clarity and key takeaways.
  • Month 3: Ask your manager if you can help prepare a small section of a team report, focusing on data presentation.

Quick win: When you pull a report, try to summarise the top 3 insights in bullet points before you share it. It's a small step towards interpretation.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending internal HR workshops and training sessions to deepen your understanding of our business and processes.
  • Reading industry publications and blogs on employee wellbeing trends.
  • Networking with other HR professionals, even informally, to learn about different approaches.
  • Taking online courses on communication skills, project coordination, or basic data analysis.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, some parts of this job can be a bit repetitive, especially when you're starting out. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to smart tools? That's where AI comes in. We're not talking about robots taking over, but about using clever tech to free you up for the more interesting, human-focused parts of your role.

In wellbeing, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical helper. It means less time sifting through data or drafting generic emails, and more time actually helping employees and making sure our programmes are top-notch. You'll be using these tools to make your day-to-day work smoother and more impactful.

Automated Query Responses

Imagine an AI assistant that can answer 70% of common employee questions about our wellbeing benefits. You'd feed it our FAQs and policy documents, and it learns to provide instant, accurate replies. This means you spend less time on repetitive questions and more time on complex or sensitive cases that really need your human touch.

Intelligent Research Summaries

Need to quickly understand the latest research on, say, 'sleep hygiene for shift workers'? Use an AI research tool. You'll give it a topic, and it'll scour academic papers and industry reports, then give you a concise summary of the key findings in minutes. No more sifting through dozens of articles yourself.

Drafting Communications

Staring at a blank page trying to write an engaging email about an upcoming wellbeing challenge? Use a generative AI tool to get a first draft. You'll give it the key points, the tone you want, and the audience, and it'll whip up something for you to edit. It's a massive time-saver for internal comms.

Basic Report Generation

When you need to pull a quick report on programme participation, AI can help. You'll feed it the raw data, and it can help you generate basic charts or summarise key trends, making it much faster to get insights for your manager. It's about getting the data ready for human interpretation.
