We often hear about the “fan experience” in the sports world. And now we hear that language being adopted by the business world as the “employee experience.” But what does it mean? What does it mean to you and your management teams as you attempt to attract, motivate and retain employees?
The employee experience is more important today than it was yesterday — and will be more important tomorrow than it is today. Julia Johnson, Director of Organizational Performance at Wipfli, will unpack thoughts for your consideration as you navigate what’s ahead.
