• Own and elevate the end-to-end onboarding experience to accelerate new hires' speed to competence and offer a warm, impactful welcome.
• Design and facilitate wider group learning initiatives, interactive workshops, and culture building events that enhance colleague engagement and value alignment.
• Learning Platforms & Analytics
• Manage and optimise our Learning Experience Platform (LXP) and digital learning toolkit to drive high adoption and self-directed learning.
• Track learning analytics, feedback, and performance indicators to measure ROI, evaluate capability growth, and continuously refine our offerings.
