The employee experience is the journey an employee takes with your organization. It includes every interaction that happens along the employee life cycle, plus the experiences that involve an employee's role, workspace, manager and wellbeing.
Focus on human experiences over processes.
Most talent management strategies default to process improvement and transactional care of people.
But we emphasize the use of human behavior insights to bring out the best in people and truly optimize your business performance through talent.
To show the difference, here are three employee experience examples:
Easy Hiring Process vs. True Job FitA new employee might be happy about a quick and smooth hiring process. But getting hired by a company that understands what you do best and then selects you for a role where you have the natural talent -- it's an experience that boosts confidence and success.
Knowing the Mission vs. Connecting With the MissionAn employee might be able to recite your company's mission. But when they understand their contribution to your mission, they work with a purpose, and it becomes an experience that supports their engagement over time.
Nice Manager vs. Great CoachWhen an employee has a nice manager, it's a bonus. But when they have a great manager -- one who cares for them and knows how to coach them -- it's an experience that enhances productivity and passion.
By focusing on experiences over processes, we help you create moments that are intuitive and adaptable around what matters most to people and your business goals. Then, we help you develop processes and structures that lead to talent optimization.
Employees are consumers of the workplace:
