“The Business Case of Employee Experience”   

Nitin Vihari

Abstract       

The COVID-19 crisis has drawn broader public interest in how companies treat their workers, so going forward, people management would be of an increasing concern. As we make a transition from a service-based economy to experience economy, where time well saved takes a back seat to time well spent, the notion of employee experience (EX) is set to become a fundamental workplace design principle. EX is how an employee feels about their interaction with the employer across all the touch points and the process of creating the positive experiences is labelled as EX design. EX acts as an antecedent to employee engagement and aims for a complete redesign of the workplace practices and environment to fit the employees to create an experiential organization. The talk focuses on the evolution of EX followed by employee and organizational level outcomes of EX with adequate case studies and research-based insights.
