Design your people experience
Next course: 11 & 18 June 2024
What is people experience?
People Experience is the result of all the interactions an employee has with their employer. Its closely related to employee engagement and focuses on creating a great working environment for organisations to get the most out of their people.
What are the benefits of a good people experience?
Research, by Gallup, shows connected employees achieve 37% higher performance at work. And 89% of executives say better employee experience leads to better customer experience.
This data is clear: Employee experience is not a nice to have, it’s a business imperative. Engaged employees means happy customers, which leads to better business outcomes. And that’s a win for everyone.
When employees succeed, companies succeed. Designing your employee experience leads to:
- Lower turnover rates
- Attracting high quality candidates
- Improved products and services
- Improved communication and deeper engagement between management and employees
- Employees who are more focussed on contributing to company success
- A more collaborative environment
- Increased customer satisfaction
- Improved productivity
- Amore inclusive workforce
- An innovative workforce and a great employer brand

You might be in a role in a people team, HR, recruitment, OD, a hiring manager; one of the many people who are part of the end-to-end employee experience.
