Do you often think about what your employees feel when they come to work?
Maybe you do — but only when some big issue comes to the fore such as when employees have a disagreement with your approach or policies.
Or maybe you don’t consider it at all; you’re too busy trying to keep the doors open.
But keeping the doors open may be the least of your problems if you don’t understand your employees’ experience at work.
What employees expect
In addition, that experience isn’t the same for everyone, especially if you’re talking about different generations.
Millennials, for example, have helped to completely reshape the employee experience landscape.
The things they’ve come to expect, such as transparency and growth opportunities, are things that all employees now demand.
And those demands tie into your culture, values, and vision to shape the workday for efficiency to win in your marketplace for business profits.
Indeed, happy employees help create a happy buying environment for your customers.
