The New Employee Experience: Here’s How You Can Prepare

Everything about the employee experience has new meaning compared with just a few short years ago. To thrive in 2022 and beyond, you need to know what’s behind the shift and, more importantly, how to deliver on a high-performing employee experience.

Work Is a Business Experience — and a Human One

The pandemic didn’t ignite the change to a greater awareness of the employee experience, but it sure accelerated the forces behind it. Here are four ways work has shifted to be a human experience as much as a business one:

1. Reconnection with purpose

0%

of millennials expect their employers to be more culturally aware and focus on societal or mission-driven problems (Deloitte)

2. A greater focus on mental wellbeing

0%

of non-managers would be more likely to stay with a company that provides “high-quality resources” to help them care for their mental health (Modern Health/Forrester)

3. Providing a future of personal growth

0%

of employees would be somewhat or very likely to leave a company due to feeling dissatisfied with the available career opportunities (Lattice/Censuswide)

4. Truly committing to diversity and inclusion

0%

of employees feel a diverse workforce will become increasingly important as roles, skills, and company requirements change (Citrix)

Step Back, Take a Breath, and Prepare for the Road Ahead

“Employee experience is the sum of all the touch points and moments that matter between employees and their employer. It sits at the heart of delivering superior customer experience and outstanding business performance.”
