HR Strategy | Want to better engage your people? Start with the employee experience

How engaged are your employees? It’s a question on the lips of many HR and People managers right now, and a very real concern for businesses the world over.

What has recently become known as ‘The Great Resignation’ seems to be a direct consequence of this lack of engagement, at least in part. In November 2021 it was reported that almost a quarter of workers are actively planning to change employers in the next few months, which could be costly for businesses, not to mention damaging to growth.

Which begs the question: how on earth can organisation’s stem the tide of resignations and retain their best talent? The answer starts with the employee experience. That is, the journey an employee takes from recruitment through to their departure. There are vital employee experience touchpoints throughout this journey that directly affect employee engagement and could mean the difference between a retained employee and an imminent resignation.
