When it comes to employee engagement, there’s a famous saying: “People join companies and leave managers”. You may join an incredible company with an inspiring vision, but if your leader micromanages you or ignores you, the experience becomes miserable very quickly. This story is too familiar and more common than it should be. That’s because leaders play a critical role in creating a great experience for employees, as they are the ones who have day-to-day interactions with their people. Yet many companies are still focused on hiring or promoting leaders that have strong technical skills and lack essential people skills. And in today’s environment with the COVID-19 pandemic, disconcerting news headlines, and competitive market for top talent, how leaders behave is more important than ever.

Developing a service mindset to co-create a great employee experience through active listening, learning, and collaboration.
For more than a decade, organizations have spent millions of dollars each year investing in engagement surveys, foosball tables, and nap pods in an attempt to improve employee engagement. Yet, engagement remained unchanged. It wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic hit that engagement numbers suddenly started going up—but what changed?
With global shutdowns, remote work, and societal focus on health and safety, companies were suddenly forced to completely reimagine the way they interact with their employees. Successful companies quickly realized that people can work productively in new ways—and became more engaged as a result. Good leaders understood the importance of discussing health and wellbeing openly, which helped nurture a safe and healthy workplace. And the new shift in how companies and leaders think about their workforce made employees feel cared for in ways never previously experienced.
In this session, we will examine the workforce transformation brought by the pandemic to understand what exactly makes a great employee experience and how you can take actionable steps to designing engaging experiences that actually mean something to your employees.
