The Employee Experience Advantage: How to Win the War for Talent by Giving Employees the Workspaces they Want, the Tools they Need, and a Culture They Can Celebrate.

Research shows that organizations that focus on the employee experience far outnumber those that don't

A new type of organization has recently emerged, one that focuses on employee experiences as a way to drive innovation, increase customer satisfaction, find and hire the best people, make work more engaging, and improve customer satisfaction. overall performance. The Employee Experience Advantage is the first book of its kind to address this emerging topic that is becoming the #1 priority for business leaders around the world. While everyone talks about the employee experience, no one has really been able to concretely explain what it is and how to design for it…until now.

How can organizations truly create a place where employees want to show up for work instead of the need to show up for work? For decades, the business world has focused on measuring employee engagement, while global engagement scores remain at an all-time low despite all the surveys and institutes that have sprung up to address this issue. Clearly something is wrong. Employee engagement has become the short-term adrenaline shot that organizations turn to when they need to boost their engagement scores. Instead, we need to focus on designing employee experiences, which is the long-term organizational design that leads to engaged employees. This is the only long-term solution. Organizations have become bogged down by focusing on the cause instead of the effect. The cause is the employee's experience; the effect is an engaged workforce.

Backed by an extensive research project that analyzed more than 150 studies and articles, featured extensive interviews with more than 150 executives, and analyzed more than 250 global organizations, this book clearly breaks down the three environments that make up the experience of every employee in every organization around. of the world: cultural, technological and physical.
