EX Lead Associate OI&C

Employee Experience (EX) is the sum of all the touchpoints and moments that matter between employees and their employers. It sits at the heart of delivering superior customer experience and is key to our clients’ success. WTW is the leader in Employee Experience.

We have the unique ability to use insights to drive impact. This means we ground everything we do in a deep understanding of what people care about – what makes them tick, what’s inhibiting change, what really matters. And we use that to fuel their Employee Experience, shaping high-value, high-impact people solutions – and delivering them in a way that sparks behaviour change and drives business results.

Our people come from diverse backgrounds and bring a range of skills and capabilities – we’re insights masters, change catalysts, storytellers, culture shapers, organisation strategists, digital champions and more. Our colleagues know the power of bringing these capabilities and our offerings together to develop and execute high- impact solutions for our clients’ most complex challenges.

Together, we’re all about powering ambitions - of our colleagues, our clients and their people.
