What makes a great employee experience?
To create a positive employee experience, it’s important to consider the entire employee journey, as people’s motivations change over time.
For example, long-term employees may appreciate flexible working options and a competitive discounts and benefits package. Whereas new joiners may value mentorship and career development opportunities.
Listening to your employees and understanding want they want, wherever they are in their journey is an essential component of a good employee experience. Tools, such as polls and surveys are useful methods of collecting feedback and learning more about your colleagues.
Additionally, introducing an employee experience platform that holds all your benefits, discounts, and wellbeing resources in one place can provide data and insight on what features your employees use the most and help generate new ideas for improving employee experience.
