Employee Experience and Business Outcomes
Extracted from our Strategic HR Thinking Whitepaper
The traditional view of employee experience as a vulnerable component within HR is important but difficult to measure — it needs re-evaluation to remain relevant. Coupled with employee engagement initiatives, employee wellbeing is not merely a side issue; it is a form of intellectual property.
Furthermore, the profound social and corporate responsibility of achieving equity through policies which are awake to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), is supported by a compelling business case which adds another layer of strategic advantage to the concept of employee experience, offering both tangible and intangible benefits. This section delves into these interconnected elements in more detail.
WHAT THIS WHITEPAPER WILL DISCUSS
Reevaluating Employee Experience: Understanding employee experience as a dynamic and valuable aspect of the organisation, which when properly managed, acts as intellectual property enhancing retention and innovation.
Employee Wellbeing and Engagement as Intellectual Property: Expanding the concept of wellbeing beyond physical and mental health to include intellectual and emotional dimensions, directly linked to enhancing productivity and business outcomes.
The Business Case for Inclusion: Detailing how diversity and inclusion are not just social obligations but essential business strategies that contribute to a more versatile and agile organisational structure.
Strategies for Enhancing Wellbeing and Engagement: Outlining practical steps for fostering an environment that supports open communication, work-life balance, and continuous learning.
Tangible and Intangible Benefits of Inclusive Practices: Analysing the direct and indirect benefits of implementing diverse teams, including improved market understanding, increased productivity, and enhanced corporate reputation.
Implementation of Inclusive Policies: Offering guidance on effective policies and training to promote inclusivity and minimise unconscious biases within the workplace.
