What is Employee Experience?
​
Business owners have already embraced the idea of providing good customer service. They know that treating their customers well and ensuring that their needs are met has a direct impact on their bottom line.
Recently, companies have shifted their focus to include investing in their employees as well. The size, industry, and location of your business doesn’t matter, employee experience is about giving employees the workspace they want, the tools they need and a culture they can celebrate.
Employee Experience is the result of all the interactions an employee has with their employer. Its closely related to employee engagement and focuses on creating a great working environment for organisations to get the most out of their people.
​
What are the benefits of a good employee experience?
​
Research, by Gallup, shows connected employees achieve 37% higher performance at work. And 89% of executives say better employee experience leads to better customer experience.
This data is clear: Employee experience is not a nice to have, it’s a business imperative. Engaged employees means happy customers, which leads to better business outcomes. And that’s a win for everyone.
When employees succeed, companies succeed. Designing your employee experience leads to:
-
