Rob, our COO and People Science Director talks with us today about&nbsp;his job role at the PxHub and why&nbsp;he does what&nbsp;he does.&nbsp;Find out which star from the Big Breakfast Rob has been described as and how he got into his role now!What do you do for&nbsp;The&nbsp;People Experience hub?&nbsp; I'm our COO and People Science Director, so have two roles really. As People Science Director my role is to make sure that the work we do and the insights we deliver for our clients are grounded in evidence, including external theory/research and data analysis. My role as COO, as a startup, is about making sure that we are equipped as a business to deliver on our future goals.How did you get into doing what you do now?&nbsp; The road to the PXHub has been a long and winding one! Over the last 20-odd years I've been in sport psychology, IT consulting, business change, OD, HR, general management and even sales operations. I think that the breadth of experience is crucial now, because the challenges are many and varied, particularly as we think about scaling up. I met Nick when I was working in HR and he pitched the forerunner to the PXHub to me, and I was an advisor before I jumped on board fully.What advice would you give to someone starting out in your industry?&nbsp;&nbsp; My first response to that is "which industry?". I could say I''m in HR, business psychology or tech. But I think that points to my advice, which is not to have too much of a fixed view of what your career will or should be, and to embrace opportunities even if you''re not sure where they''ll lead you.Have you ever been told you look like someone famous, who was it? Loads, funnily enough. But always different. So I think that just means I'm kind of average. But, I was once described as a fat Richard Orford from the Big Breakfast (for those of a certain age). I turned on the telly to check for myself and thought "OMG!" it''s true. A proper doppelganger.

I help taking clients through their journey with us, from onboarding, working through survey setup and post survey close. I try to help the team where possible and work through as much organisational psychology content as I can to start diving into real life experience now that I have completed my degree on this.How did you get into doing what you do now?&nbsp;I did a Bachelor's degree in Business and Human Resource Management and figured out what interested me the most and decided to do a Master's degree in Business and Organisational Psychology. Loved every second of that degree and it's amazing to see what I learned reflected on what I'm working now.&nbsp;What advice would you give to someone starting in your industry?&nbsp;&nbsp;Be yourself and strive to learn from those around you. There is always something to learn, something to improve on and that's okay. No one is perfect and we can learn a lot from others.If you could see one movie again for&nbsp;the&nbsp;first time, what would it be and why? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Honestly? I would love to be able to watch the Hannah Montana movie like it was the first time watching it, might be cheesy but it was part of my childhood and always made me so happy to watch and sing along.&nbsp;If you had to eat one meal every day for&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest of your life, what would it be? &nbsp;&nbsp;Rice. Love rice with every meal. Could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, no problem. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Jemma, a Client Success Manager talks with us today about her role at the PxHub, how she got into her job role and what advice she would give others interested in client management. Are you a foodie? Find out what Italian dish Jemma would choose to eat every day if she had to!What do you do for&nbsp;The&nbsp;People Experience hub?&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm Jemma. I manage client relationships and guide them through their journey with us.&nbsp;My main activities (although there are plenty more!) are onboarding new customers, building relationships with them, helping them to deploy their surveys and making sure that they have all of the support that they need (e.g. from People Science and Customer Operations) to be successful.As well as spinning plates for our amazing clients, I try and take care of the team here at PXHub; I love helping people and being someone who can lend an ear if you need it.&nbsp;&nbsp;How did you get into doing what you do now?&nbsp;I have always been in the events industry; I have been an Events Manager as well as a Wedding Planner/ Coordinator for most of my working life. However, the pandemic changed all of that and I found my home with The People Experience Hub as their CSM. Customer service is where I have always been, whether it’s the events industry or HR, I love it.&nbsp;&nbsp;What advice would you give to someone starting in your industry?&nbsp;&nbsp;Keep learning, you never know everything. Also give whatever you’re doing 100%, people can tell when your heart isn’t truly in it, you should love what you do.&nbsp;&nbsp;You have to sing karaoke, what song do you pick?&nbsp;There are a lot of songs out there that don't make sense, but make you feel good when you sing along to them, Macklemore’s ‘Can’t Hold Us’ is one of them or Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. (‘Bismillah! No, we will not let you go!’ ‘Let him go!’)&nbsp;Which actor/actress would you want to play you in the movie about your life?&nbsp;Probably Emilia Clarke (from Game of Thrones, Me before you and Last Christmas) She’s quirky and hilarious and I think she would play my weirdness well.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?&nbsp;Carbonara… because, well… it’s an amazing creamy pasta. I’m a sucker for great Italian food.&nbsp;

Today, we talk with Head Of Business Development,&nbsp;Ted, to find out more about&nbsp;his job role at the PxHub and why&nbsp;he does what&nbsp;he does.&nbsp;Find out the best piece of advice Ted has been given.What do you do for the PxHub?My role is about creating an environment that helps people understand why our product works and how it can actually help them. I'm super lucky, I get to work directly with HR leaders and businesses on their employee feedback journey, as well as keeping a foot in marketing and brand too.&nbsp;How did you get into doing what you do now?&nbsp;How long have you got? 🤣 My career journey has been very wibbly-wobbly, having worked in different sectors and roles across sales, service, and marketing. Since my 20's I've had a strong passion for creating working environments that don't suck - a personal goal being to create teams that I wish I'd joined way back when. It's this passion that leads me to the HR and employee engagement space, and so it's a natural progression for me to land at an industry-leading business like the People Experience Hub.&nbsp;What advice would you give to someone starting out in your industry?&nbsp;&nbsp;Become an SDR. It's a bloody hard job, but I learned more in the 3 years I did that than I've learned in the rest of my career combined. You get to see the inner and outer workings of a business, will learn how to handle situations and challenges you never thought you could manage, and ultimately set yourself up for a really interesting career.&nbsp;If you could have dinner with one celebrity, who would you choose and why?Hank Green. You might know him as one half of the Vlogbrothers (his brother John Green is also a legend), or as the founder of VidCon, or the Founder of DFTBA.com, or the founder of SciShow... or maybe even just from TikTok. I've been following him since the early days of YouTube, and his viewpoints on life, the universe and everything in it are beyond fascinating to me.If you had to eat one meal every day for&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest of your life, what would it be?It's a bit boring, but Pizza - there are almost no bad toppings and I can think of very few occasions that are not made better by having a big cheesy pizza there. Lush.&nbsp;What’s&nbsp;the&nbsp;best piece of advice you have ever been given?There are so many that I could write a book (and I probably will one day), but there's a quote from one of my favourite movies of all time that has become kind of a mantra to me; "Be excellent to each other". Had to find better advice than this.

Luigi, Head of Data and Analytics talks with us today about his role at the PxHub. Find out what Luigi gets up to day to day and what valuable advice he would give to someone looking to get into data and analytics.What do you do for&nbsp;The&nbsp;People Experience hub?&nbsp;&nbsp;As the Head of Data and Analytics, my job is to manage the different data lifecycles that exist in the company as well as manage our direction with AI. Whether it is our customer’s data, Internal data, 3rd party data, research, and development, I’m always asking these questions:How do I test this data is correct? Am I happy with what we’re capturing? What Inferences can I see? Is there a better way to structure this? Does this answer our hypothesis?This visualisation is great, but is there a more intuitive way to show/explain this?Sometimes my work means visiting clients directly to talk about their data and insights we’ve discovered. Other times I am locked away in our data lab working on our data infrastructure and curating and refining datasets. Some of my favourite moments, come from talking to Rob and Nick about the art of the possible, and designing tools for the future!How did you get into doing what you do now?&nbsp;My first office job was doing data entry into databases. From then on, I learned how to query them, and then how to build them. As I grew in skills and confidence, there was a growing need for people who could manipulate and handle multiple sources of data for meaningful insights and outputs.When I first started, the language around this process was only spoken by a few people in the organisation. Initially, we used this data to instruct on how to proceed with processes, then eventually, the data became intelligence and insights for data-driven decision making.What advice would you give to someone starting in your industry?&nbsp;&nbsp;There’s never been a more exciting time to get into this industry than now! There are so many paths and avenues, although I do think a solid foundation of systems thinking, relational databases, and basic data structures help!There are also, so many famous, important (and free!) datasets out there, I would recommend getting stuck with learning how to manipulate the data and experiment with visualising! Getting a good handle on the various techniques and tools will increase your ability to be able to interrogate the data, and start asking questions, by which you will use the data to try and answer. Once you feel comfortable, try, and build a portfolio that demonstrates your techniques and thinking!
