Reframing competitive employee experience

Adapt the employee experience to the new shape of 工作 and rapidly evolving employee expectations. 

It’s time to reframe the employee experience

Employee experience was already a trending topic before the pandemic.

然而, the pandemic caused people to rethink their priorities and has brought organisations and people closer together. The three over-arching aspects of employee experience — employee expectations, the environment and moments that occur in an employee’s journey — have not changed, but the pandemic brought new questions into focus:

  • How to make flex 工作ing 工作
  • How to hire, onboard and manage/coach employees with a dispersed or virtual 工作place
  • How to 工作, collaborate and communicate in distributed or virtual net工作s
  • How to move from offering well-being policies to actively partnering with employees in their health and wellness
  • How to create a frictionless digital 工作 environment to ensure new technology supports 工作 rather than hindering it — and that people enjoy interacting with the technology
Managing the employee experience just got more nuanced. In an increasingly employee-centric market and a world offering highly 个人ised experiences, more and more people want to tailor their own 工作 and craft schedules that 工作 for them.

People no longer want to 工作 for a company; they want to 工作 with them. This signals an urgent need to differentiate the employee experience to attract and 保留 top talent — 85% of companies are co-creating employee experiences with their people (GTT 2022).

Co-creation is an important aspect as employees’ 工作-related needs and desires vary based on their:

  • 性别
  • 一代
  • 工作水平
  • 照料家庭地位

And their needs and experience are not constant; shifting as different parts of an employee’s life change — 工作, 个人, 金融, and health and well-being. Considering the whole person and dynamically adjusting to employee needs requires a strategic yet nuanced approach. It also requires gaining actionable insights on an ongoing basis, at the right time. This is just one key dimension to building a stronger 工作force and a human-centred, 由, consumer-grade employee experience.

The employee experience rests between environmental factors such as culture, 人与领导, programmes and processes, 工作, and technology AND events such as life events, 职业活动, and organisation events.

How can you create a 个人ised employee experience that people crave?

High-performing employees want their employee experience to be:

  • 丰富
  • 非常高效。
  • 拥抱
  • 善解人意

But a one-size-fits-all approach won’t 工作. Having a robust strategy and governance frame工作, 员工听 and data insights, capabilities and communications, and digital tools in place to support a 个人ised employee-experience will be key. Doing this can create a competitive advantage. Our research shows that agile companies are twice as likely to say they have made great inroads in creating, and continue to experiment with, a positive employee experience (Global 人才 Trends 2022) — one that is aligned with the employee value proposition and digital transformation ambitions.
