There’s been a lot of talk about what employee experience means for companies right now. But how will EX evolve in the future? Our guest writer Dan Schawbel takes a look.
There’s never been a more important moment for leaders to make the employee experience a burning priority. Due to the pandemic, both the workplace and workplace culture have endured a seismic shift, and employees are demanding more from the companies they work for.
For the first time in the history of work, money is not the primary motivating driver. Instead, workers long to feel engaged, included, and connected. They want to feel inspired by their company’s leaders and feel they are being listened to as well. They want to have access to the technological tools they need to succeed, and they want to enjoy their work and feel connected to a bigger purpose.
Is this a tall order? Yes, but it’s worth it! Get employee experience right, and your people will want to stick around at your company and help it thrive. Your company will enjoy higher rates of retention, productivity, and employee engagement. But in order to achieve these outcomes, your company may need to redesign and transform its very DNA, quickly evolving into an organization that truly puts its workers first.
