The past few years have brought accelerated changes to the working environment. 39% of HR leaders are harnessing the Covid crisis to reshape and reprioritise their company’s talent agenda. Organisations are required to become more agile to deal with the changing employee expectations and hold onto their talent.
Victoria Bond, CEO and Founder of Ten Space believes that annual feedback surveys aren’t enough anymore. Employees demand instant improvements which makes regular feedback a necessity for successful companies.
Maybe you have a great engagement strategy in place that’s worked in the past, but it’s just not hitting the mark anymore? Or maybe you are looking to create an incredible workplace and are wondering what’s next?
The next steps in your journey are likely to be focused on the details of your employee experience and the future. Victoria sheds some light on what that could look like…
Employee Experience:
Crafting and maintaining engaging employee experiences for an individual, from when they enter an organisation through to when they leave, can impact hugely on engagement, retention and performance. Companies with highly engaged teams achieve on average 59% less employee turnover.
Organisations need to become obsessed and detail orientated when creating a great employee experience by leveraging regular employee data and insight to understand what their employees need and want. For example, 74% of employees said they’d be willing to give more feedback if they were truly anonymous.
But this isn’t a one-off project. It is important to continually review and make improvements to the employee experience to ensure that it stays relevant and effective in driving engagement, as your organisation changes and your talent evolves.
The Future of Work:
Positioning yourself as ‘ahead of the pack’ in the field of employee experience is crucial in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
By anticipating the key points that will shape the future of work, you can ensure that your organisation remains at the forefront of the latest developments and best practices in employee engagement and experience. This leads to the attraction and retention of great teams.
Before the pandemic, just 24% of businesses felt employee engagement was a priority. Following the pandemic, this number hit nearly 36%.
Consider areas such as; what will learning look like in the future? What skills do your leaders need to be future ready? How will people prefer to work in the future? What technology will they need to be familiar with?
Most importantly, what does the culture of your organisation need to be to support success? High performing cultures can be a key differentiator.
As we enter a recession, budgets will undoubtedly be squeezed but reducing investment in your people is counterproductive. Growing companies need successful people and this means understanding, valuing and nurturing your talent.
Every employee has a voice to be heard; it’s imperative to provide an experience that empowers everyone.
