I\u2019m currently Head of Employee Experience at EduMe, where I\u2019ve been for around 2 and a half years now. EduMe is a mobile-based training platform for the deskless workforce, used by modern companies in more than 60 countries worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By providing their workforce with seamless access to relevant knowledge, companies like Uber, Gopuff, Deliveroo, Gorillas and Vodafone are enabling their people to achieve Workforce Success.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I originally joined as Ops Manager when we were a much smaller company, around the 20 people mark. Since then, we\u2019ve closed our series A and series B funding rounds, and we\u2019re currently sitting at around 70 people across the US &amp; UK &#8211; and growing rapidly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, as Head of Employee Experience, it\u2019s my job to look after everyone at EduMe and make sure they have the tools, resources and support that they need to succeed; from pre-boarding and onboarding, during their time at the company, and right through to offboarding.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-does-a-day-in-your-life-look-like-for-you-can-you-take-us-through-a-recent-workday\">2) What does a day in your life look like for you? Can you take us through a recent workday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As cliche as it may sound, every day really is different! At the moment, as we\u2019re growing so rapidly, it often involves onboarding new employees and making sure they\u2019re welcomed properly to the company &#8211; but I also make sure to spend time on plenty of other tasks needed to ensure we\u2019re looking after the current team in the best way we can as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be through running &amp; analysing employee engagement surveys to get feedback from the team, and creating actionable plans for the future; organising our frequent company events and exciting off-sites (including one in Italy in May!); running performance reviews and ensuring everyone has clear personal development and career progression in place; and building on our benefits &amp; perks packages to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also spend much of my day catching up with various people across the company, answering any questions they have on a number of topics, and checking in with others on my team. We\u2019ve recently hired our first Employee Experience Manager in the US, so getting her settled in is a priority at the moment &#8211; I\u2019m flying to LA next week to onboard her in person, which I\u2019m thoroughly looking forward to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-does-your-current-role-allow-for-flexible-or-remote-working-if-so-how-does-that-fit-into-your-life-and-routine\">3) Does your current role allow for flexible or remote working? If so, how does that fit into your life and routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We offer flexible hybrid working at EduMe &#8211; we have a great office in London that we moved into towards the end of last year, and everyone has the option to spend more time in the office or at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also have flexible working hours, which I love! I currently choose to spend 2 or 3 days in the office per week, as I really enjoy spending time in-person with my colleagues. Having the option to work both in the office and at home is ideal for me &#8211; I prefer working remotely when I have a lot of individual work to do, and much prefer in-person meetings for anything involving the wider team or collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I personally wouldn\u2019t like to be fully remote, as the in-person aspect of my role is something I really enjoy, and was something that I really missed during lockdown. However, not having to commute 5 days a week is also a definite perk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-what-does-work-life-balance-mean-to-you-and-how-do-you-work-to-achieve-that-goal\">4) What does work-life balance mean to you and how do you work to achieve that goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t think it\u2019s simple enough, or realistic, to \u2018separate\u2019 your work and home lives &#8211; in reality, these things merge and combine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether that\u2019s through home-schooling during the pandemic, needing to cancel a meeting last minute so you can look after a poorly child, or choosing to have dinner with colleagues after work &#8211; all of these things mean that quite often our work life and home life are interlinked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, I think the key to balancing these is being part of a company that understands each individual\u2019s needs, and gives them the opportunity to switch off when they need to, and the flexibility to work around their priorities at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-in-the-past-12-months-have-you-started-or-stopped-any-routines-or-habits-to-change-your-life\">5) In the past 12 months, have you started or stopped any routines or habits to change your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think over the pandemic, a lot of bad habits crept in during working from home &#8211; although I had the best intentions (putting \u2018Go for a walk\u2019 on my calendar every day), often it was easier to not do the things I knew I should (not going for a walk when my calendar tells me to). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the new year, working from home for the second (third?) time, I\u2019ve been making more of an effort to not let the bad habits slip back in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-do-you-have-any-favourite-books-podcasts-or-newsletters-that-you-d-like-to-recommend\">6) Do you have any favourite books, podcasts or newsletters that you&#8217;d like to recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actually prefer to read novels rather than non-fiction generally, and recently gave in to a Kindle which has made packing for holidays much easier! However, the CultureOps podcast is great for anyone who cares about building company culture &#8211; something that is crucial to build and maintain in roles like mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also rely heavily on a few networks that share great resources and recommendations &#8211; People Stories and Ops Stories are great for these. They\u2019re also brilliant places to talk to the wider community about any queries, benchmarking, or just bouncing ideas off each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-are-there-any-products-gadgets-or-apps-that-you-can-t-live-without\">7) Are there any products, gadgets or apps that you can\u2019t live without?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, for someone who works for a tech company, I don\u2019t really use that many gadgets or apps. My main loves are friends, family, travel and food &#8211; so as long as I have Google Maps to show me where I\u2019m going (I have a terrible sense of direction), reviews to show me the best places to eat, and someone to join me wherever I\u2019m going &#8211; I\u2019m happy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-if-you-could-read-an-interview-about-work-life-balance-by-anyone-who-would-that-be\">8) If you could read an interview about work-life balance by anyone, who would that be?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the increase in flexible working, and remote\/hybrid working, has made it far easier for those in traditionally office-based roles to have a successful work-life balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d be curious to see how those people in roles that can\u2019t be flexible or hybrid &#8211; such as shift work that has to be in-person, for example hospitality or retail &#8211; manage to successfully balance their work and home lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having previously worked in hospitality, I know this can be a challenge, and I\u2019d love to know how successful businesses are ensuring their employees have a healthy work-life balance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-do-you-have-any-last-thoughts-on-work-life-or-balance-that-you-d-like-to-share-with-our-readers\">9) Do you have any last thoughts on work, life or balance that you\u2019d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether in work, life or something in between, I think the most important thing is to make sure you\u2019re doing something you really enjoy, and makes you happy.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[convertkit form=2928072]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before you go\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you\u2019d like to sponsor or advertise with Balance the Grind,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/sponsorship\/\">let\u2019s talk here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Join our community and never miss a conversation about work, life &amp; balance \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/awesome-hustler-7838.ck.page\/2a1f7fe74d\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCs-cXoQLn4CTrBdnxuENdPQ\/videos\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-280x146.jpg 280w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022-1140x596.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/give-it-a-nudge-banner-2022.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Start-up Founders, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Accelerators &#8211; hear them all talk about their stories where they went wrong, what went right and what they learned!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/marnie-hitchcock-head-of-employee-experience-at-edume\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Balancing the Grind with Marnie Hitchcock, Head of Employee Experience at eduMe &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hr-culture","category-interviews"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
