We define employee experience as seeing the world through the eyes of our employees and staying connected to their wants and needs, so they are committed to the larger business goals and results.
As the war for talent heats up, many companies have appointed a Head of Employee Experience and are developing a strategy to create an employee experience which takes into account the physical environment employees work in, the tools and technologies that enable their productivity, and learning to achieve their best at work.
HR leaders are leading this effort by reaching outside of the HR function to partner with Marketing and Internal Communications in order to create one seamless employee and customer experience. Making the workplace an experience allows companies to embed their culture and values in the workplace and use this to recruit and retain top talent.
In this slideshare you learn about employee experience, why it is so important to put your people first and what the (new) role of HR is.
