So what does all this mean for your day-to-day? In the Content Moderator role, you will be working on a computer each day reviewing content such as videos, news stories, still pictures, political ads, and social media profiles. You will then score this content on areas such as age-appropriateness, level of violence, sexual content, and political transparency. In order to properly identify all of these items, you will be trained on how to enforce the client’s policies, and then use these policies to support the overall business.
 

As a Content Moderator, you understand the importance of working hard and having fun! You will be given daily time to participate in wellness activities such as dance parties, fitness challenges, on-site wellness programs, video games, and team development exercises.

TaskUs devotes considerable resources to the wellbeing of its employees. Being a Content Moderator means participating in counseling sessions and other wellness programs:

● Child exploitation and abuse
● Animal torture
● Gang Violence
● Murder
● Hate Speech 

As a content moderator it is important for you to know the potential risks related to this type of work. While TaskUs is focused on employee wellness by having counselors on-site, resiliency programming, and other wellness initiatives, exposure to graphic and disturbing content is unavoidable. Some individuals with a sensitivity to viewing graphic or disturbing content may be at risk for developing distress, mental health symptoms, or, in rare instances, Secondary Traumatic Stress based on the content they are viewing.
 

TaskUs reserves the right to reassign content moderators to other TaskUs projects based on staffing needs, employee performance, and other considerations. In order to help create a community that is safe for all employees, the Resiliency and Wellness Team takes an active role in the primary prevention of mental health concerns through direct practice efforts, e-learning, skills training, and outreach efforts to the TaskUs community. Our programs seek to raise awareness about psychological issues, challenge ideas that contribute to social inequity, disempowerment, and discrimination, as well as the underlying structures that support them. In addition, our programs empower employees to find and use their voices in a healthy and productive way.
