Voice Framework

This whitepaper presents an in-depth look at the VOICE (Voice of Internal Customer Experience) framework—a revolutionary approach designed to transform how organizations measure and improve the employee experience through the lens of HR services. Traditionally, HR has operated with limited, top-down feedback mechanisms such as annual engagement surveys or leadership-driven inputs, which often overlook the real, day-to-day experiences of employees. The VOICE framework addresses this critical gap by offering a real-time, continuous, and employee-centric feedback system that collects insights directly from the actual recipients of HR services.

Structured around the seven key stages of the Employee Life Cycle—from attraction and onboarding to development and exit—the VOICE framework identifies specific touchpoints where feedback can be gathered and measured using clear, relevant metrics. These include onboarding NPS, performance appraisal satisfaction, reward fairness, internal mobility feedback, and exit NPS, among others. Each stage is supported by targeted questions and KPIs that help HR teams track performance, understand pain points, and take timely action.

Beyond stage-specific inputs, the framework also incorporates overarching feedback mechanisms, such as employee satisfaction, engagement surveys, and HR service delivery ratings, all consolidated into a comprehensive HR Performance Scorecard. This ensures that HR’s contribution is not only monitored but also made visible and accountable at every level of the organization.

What makes VOICE truly powerful is its ability to foster a culture of listening and trust. By treating employees as internal customers and showing that their feedback leads to action, the framework not only enhances the employee experience but also boosts organizational transparency, inclusion, and performance. Developed by Ramesh Ranjan, a veteran HR leader and the Co-Founder & CEO of the Global HR Community (GHRC), this whitepaper offers a forward-thinking model that redefines HR as a strategic partner in business success.

Ideal for HR leaders, business heads, and transformation champions, this whitepaper serves as both a practical guide and a strategic tool for creating a data-driven, empathetic, and high-performing HR function.
