Job Description

  • Manage employee survey touch points at several key moments in the employee lifecycle (including: onboarding survey, exit survey, internal mobility survey, and more), ensuring that we gather insights at the moments that matter the most.
  • Consult on ad hoc survey requests, including advising on survey best practices and tools with partners.
  • Partner with Data Engineers to design, build, and maintain data pipelines from our survey platforms to our data warehouse.
  • Surface survey data in intuitive dashboards for several audiences.
  • Provide training on how to use survey data and dash boarding tools.
  • Translate complex findings and data in a compelling and easy-to-understand narrative for audiences of all technical levels.
  • Use perspectives from both theory and practice to create compelling insights from employee survey data, both independently and through collaboration with other People Analytics Team members and partners.
  • Provide expertise on topics of surveys, employee listening, and related intersections with People Analytics and the broader People community based on industry best practices.
  • Be an advocate of data-driven culture on the People Team and across Block.
