FROM EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT TO EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
Employee engagement has been a hot topic in HR for over a decade. Every leading organization seeks to find ways to engage employees. The research linking to engagement to positive outcomes is clear. However, only recently have organizations begun to think deliberately about employee experience. As organizations strive to become the employer of choice in their industries, they are taking steps to attract and retain top talent by fostering an environment and culture that inspires people to join them. It’s not about ping-pong tables and cool furniture, or even CSR policies; it is about developing strategies that lead to job experiences that employers can tout along with more traditional benefits like health insurance and RRSP plans. Right now, only a handful of organizations is thinking deliberately about designing employee experiences.
