About the role

Own and drive BURN’s employee experience agenda—turning employee feedback into measurable improvements in engagement, onboarding, recognition, wellbeing, and culture. Ensure EX initiatives are not “events”, but a consistent operating rhythm that improves retention, performance, and trust.

  • Run the annual Employee Satisfaction Survey (ESS) and quarterly/monthly pulse surveys (design, comms, rollout, analysis, reporting).
  • Lead focus groups/listening sessions and translate themes into root causes and actions.
  • Build and maintain a simple EX insights dashboard (engagement, onboarding, recognition, key themes, action closure).

Action planning & governance

  • Facilitate post-survey action planning with leaders (priorities, owners, timelines, success measures).
  • Track delivery via an “EX Action Log” and drive closure discipline (with evidence of completion).
  • Identify hotspots/risks (attrition signals, morale drops) and propose interventions to CTHO/ELT.

Training impact & continuous improvement:

  • Review training feedback and participation trends, identify gaps or improvement areas, and recommend enhancements to training approaches, formats, and rollout strategies across locations.

Onboarding & buddy programme

  • Design and continuously improve onboarding (pre-boarding → Day 1 → 30/60/90-day check-ins).
  • Own the buddy programme and hiring manager onboarding toolkit; ensure compliance and quality.

Wellbeing & psychosocial safety

  • Manage counselling/EAP provider (if applicable): SLA, utilisation trends, access and awareness, confidentiality messaging.
  • Coordinate well-being calendar and critical incident support protocol (in partnership with HR/HSSE).

Engagement moments & events (strategic oversight)

  • Own annual EX calendar and budget; oversee delivery of: Annual Gala Dinner, Sports Day, team building rhythm, recognition moments.
  • Set event standards, ROI measures and post-event improvement actions.

Internal communications & change support

  • Partner with People/Comms to deliver clear employee communications (EX newsletter, FAQs, policy awareness campaigns, change comms support).

Key deliverables

  • Annual EX calendar (with owners, budgets, success metrics)
  • ESS + pulse survey reports (exec summary + site/function insights)
  • EX action log with ≥ agreed closure rate
  • Recognition framework and quarterly recognition reports
  • Onboarding programme with measurable onboarding NPS and 30/60/90-day check-in completion

Skills and Experience

  • 6–10+ years in Employee Experience, HR, OD, engagement, internal comms, or culture roles (multi-site/manufacturing is a plus).
