Why Employee Experience Matters
The employee experience encompasses every interaction an employee has with an organization, from recruitment to exit. It’s more than satisfaction or engagement; it’s about creating an environment where employees can thrive, innovate, and feel valued. A robust EX strategy can enhance productivity, and retention rates, and foster a more cohesive team environment.
