Why join Work & Rewards?
You’ll work with leading organizations across industries, solving complex workforce challenges on topics such as pay transparency, reward strategy and transformation.
Combining consulting, data and technology, every project offers the chance to learn, grow and make an impact.
You’ll also be part of a global environment where collaboration across regions and specialties is part of everyday work.
As Hazel Rees, Global Head of Work & Rewards, explains:
“Work & Rewards offers the opportunity to work with complex global organizations while solving real workforce challenges alongside leading experts.”
Expanding your perspective across borders
For Claire Gorick, Senior Director in the U.K., international experience has been a defining part of her career journey:
“I’ve worked for some time in the U.S. and this strengthened my internal network, deepened my subject matter expertise and broadened my perspective.”
Stepping into a new market pushed Claire out her comfort zone, helping her become more adaptable and confident. The relationships she built continue to influence how she works, approaches problem-solving and supports clients today.
Working as one global team
Work & Rewards is structured across geographies and areas of expertise, meaning colleagues regularly collaborate across countries, practices and time zones. This way of working creates opportunities to build strong global networks and learn from diverse viewpoints.
Claire sees this every day: “Here we operate as a global team. We regularly partner with colleagues from different parts of the world, bringing together diverse expertise to solve complex client challenges. This creates real opportunities to build international networks and develop a broader, more global perspective.”
Whether through day-to-day partnership or longer-term abroad experiences, colleagues are constantly exposed to new ideas, markets and ways of thinking.
Learning through multinational experiences
For Shawn Li, Senior Director in Executive Compensation and Board Advisory in Hong Kong, working across borders is both challenging and highly rewarding: “I need to navigate different cultures, time zones, working styles and languages.”
These challenges are part of what makes the experience so valuable: “I get to meet new colleagues, build relationships with new clients and constantly learn new things. That curiosity keeps me growing.”
Being part of a global organization also means working alongside experienced colleagues and top tier clients, which brings fresh ideas and perspectives to every project.
