The grand story of an organization is made up of defining moments in every employee’s journey that can either make their experience subtle or totally enchanting. However short-lived, they can sway perception, sway choice, and cultivate deep respect or rejection. They are the details in the bigger canvas known as employee experience (EX).
Employee experience encompasses an employee's whole journey inside a company, including every contact, impression, and encounter from the minute they contemplate joining until they leave. At its heart, it is about how employees view their workplace, culture, and organizational support during their stay.
As Richard Branson once put it, “Employees interact with their employers and brands when they experience themselves as human beings worthy of respect,” capturing the essence of the inspiring employee experiences. Indeed, it is the human instances of emotional linkages and individualization that really make the EX canvas richer.
Employee experience is a powerful metric that can make or break the way an employee feels about your organization. It is also a great way to make employees feel welcome and comfortable at their workplace. Let us look at some areas where a company must focus to improve employee experience:
The first day of a new job is entering into an art room full of opportunities. It’s an anticipation-laden moment, full of all kind of possibilities, and it sets the stage for the whole employee lifecycle. Backed by warmth, a well-structured onboarding process plays the role of a gallery, where the new employees are oriented, welcomed and leave well-informed. Forrester states that good onboarding improves productivity of staff by 11.3%. It is not only about form-filling; it is about setting up the bases of a relationship.
Recognition is a mosaic that glams up the monotony. It is the recognition of the single tiles – the accomplishments and contributions – that form the whole. Gallup discovered that employees who consider themselves insufficiently valued are twice as likely to say they will quit within the next year. Appreciation of milestones, achievements, and even attempts can turn a boring job into a rewarding profession.
Career development is a process which is not a straight line but a sculpture, being worked and reworked all the time. Offering paths for growth, education, and moving forward indicates to the employees the people are valued resources worth spending on. Gartner points out that organizations which foster career growth are 2.9 times more likely to have employees who do extra work. It is to carve the success pathways together.
Scaffolding during difficult times is essential as it forms the frame where the master piece is mounted. Whatever the reason is, the way an organization takes care of its employees in tough times shows the real culture of that company. Gartner observes that employees who perceive their organization to be supportive of their well-being are 69% less likely to engage in active searching for another job. High support structure does not only help in retention but also in creating resilience and loyalty.
Organizations that focus on improving these many areas of the workplace can develop a more engaging, rewarding, and effective employee experience, resulting in increased retention, higher levels of production, and overall organizational success.
