Employee Experience
Engaged employees are more productive, innovative and loyal. Organizations that focus on employee experience drive higher profits, attain greater customer satisfaction, benefit from more productivity and see excellent employee retention. A positive employee experience attracts top talent, supporting your recruitment efforts.
Understanding the Importance of Employee Engagement
Companies with highly engaged employees are 21% more profitable, while disengaged employees provide a 15% lower profitability for a company. Disengaged employees are more likely to perform at their lowest level, and their discouragement and frustration can be a real threat to your organization’s culture, morale and recruitment efforts. It’s therefore vital to create an exceptional employee experience.
Positive Employee Experience Trends
Investing in employee experience is critical to establishing a positive work environment. Bolster your employee engagement by:
- Investing in organizational culture: A shared culture establishes trust and gives employees the opportunity to excel. A diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace culture is also more attractive to top talent.
- Championing employee well-being: Employees who feel cared for and secure in their position display greater loyalty and drive to propel the business forward.
- Focusing on people-first connections: Remote employees want to feel connected to their colleagues and the organization even when they can't be present in person. Regular communication, collaboration and virtual happy hours are important socialization opportunities that foster connection.
- Empowering employees at all levels: Investing in and upskilling employees at all levels is vital. Many organizations equip their leaders, but they need to invest in individual contributors as well. Statistics show that 22% of workers will quit if they foresee no advancement opportunities.
- Investing in onboarding: A positive experience starts from the first interaction, so onboarding is much more than an admin process. Companies with a structured onboarding program retain 58% of employees for three years.
