Over the past several years, the workplace has undergone significant changes, with many organizations adopting hybrid work models, leading to increased attention on the term “Employee Experience” (EX).
What is Employee Experience, and why is it important now?
Employee experience can be considered as the experiences employees have during their tenure within an organization.
In the modern workplace, fostering a positive employee experience is vital for enhanced engagement and productivity. Employees have higher expectations for employer support, seeking a comfortable and joyful work environment that facilitates skill development. Quality employee experience empowers individuals to make a positive impact within their workplace.
