Many companies are focused on the “employee experience.”According to Gallup, “The employee experience is defined as the journey an employee takes with your organization. It includes every interaction that happens along the employee life cycle, plus the experiences that involve an employee’s role, workspace, manager and wellbeing.”As an experienced HR consultant and provider of career transition services, I have seen first-hand the impact of creating positive experiences for employees throughout their employment journey.By the same token, I have seen what a negative experience — or a series of them — can do to damage an employer’s brand, recruiting efforts and overall retention.First impressions matter to the bottom line.
