The Employee Experience Advantage

If you've had a job any time during the last two decades you know companies are extremely interested in engaging employees. You may also know that engagement scores have been at an all-time low despite investment in these programs being at an all-time high. So what's going on here? Organizations around the world have been focusing on the effect, which is employee engagement, instead of the cause, which is employee experience. As a result most initiatives today are centered around short-term band aid solutions such as free food or flexible work hours instead of being focused on true organizational design. The Employee Experience Advantage provides the first comprehensive research-based look at how to optimize the three fundamental environments that shape employee experience. Thus creating an organization where people genuinely want to show up to work to perform their best.

Then, it makes a bulletproof business case for investing in the transformation into an experiential organization, complete with insight and proven metrics gained from interviewing 150 executives, reviewing 150 studies and articles, and analyzing over 250 global organizations. Finally, an entire section looks at every practical piece of building employee experience into the architecture of your organization in order to produce tangible business results. An extensive
