The new employee experience: How to help your people thrive in life and work

The pandemic reshaped employee experience forever. Discover what this means for the mental health of your staff, and the importance of helping each worker from 9-5, as well as 5-9.

Here’s a not-so-hot take: Covid-19 changed everything. Of course, everything is a great number of things. And it’s easy to get dazzled (side-tracked, even) by the 40ft headlines, and ultimately lose sight of the many, many smaller changes that have recently gone down.

In business, everyone knows about the major, and mighty, shift towards remote or hybrid work. Yet this is only the foreword to a wider workplace revolution.

Mental health – once misunderstood, or outright ignored – has launched itself up corporate agendas. And not just in the context of wellbeing benefits, either. Company execs are increasingly alive to the fact that we all have mental health, all the time, and that investing in your workers’ minds is about far more than ROI. In fact, VOI – that is, value on investment – is maybe the metric that really matters.

It’s not just work that’s different. Employees have changed too. Their wants, needs and expectations of what a career looks like are almost unrecognisable, compared with the pre-pandemic workforce. These days, more than half would up and leave if not given flexibility in their role. And yet, as above, firms would be foolish to limit their thinking to WFH alone.  

In our new interactive handbook, The employee experience, mental health, and the post-Covid-19 workplace, we dig down into the past, present, and uncertain future of employee experience. 

You’ll learn:

• The vital role EX plays – alongside mental health – in workplace performance and a staff member’s home life. 
• The landmark ‘moments that matter’ during an employee’s time at a company. 
• And the power of cultural markers, like diversity and inclusion (D&I) schemes, and mental health programmes, to boost EX across an organisation. 

You will also find out about the dual-spectrum model of mental wellbeing, how this crosses over with employee experience, and the many ways it too can help companies deliver positive cultural change at scale.
