Is it just a passing fad?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><em>How companies should focus on what will employees truly want and ditch the free cafeteria snacks<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like us, you may have noticed the bidding war that currently exists between companies trying to offer the best employee experience. Free massages at work? I\u2019ll raise you laundry pick ups and onsite manicures. Free gourmet coffee? I\u2019ll do you one better. Ice cream Sundays and beers on Friday. Looks like work should feel like a holiday in a five-star resort interrupted by the occasional meetings here and there, with employees being looked after by Employee Engagement Managers and Chief Heart Officers. With a war on talent constantly being fought by companies to recruit and retain the best people, these laundry lists of perks seem like necessary benefits for organisations to distinguish themselves amongst their competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the above sounds like employees should be the ultimate winners, research shows that motivation levels are pretty low amongst staff and have been for the past decade, with no real improvements being made despite the rise in employee experience (EX) initiatives. So are all these efforts being wasted? Are employees just becoming more and more difficult when it comes to job expectations? Can we blame this professional unhappiness on generational shifts? At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we think it\u2019s more complicated than that. Because companies have just been focussing on the wrong things. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is employee experience?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we go any further, it\u2019s worth making sure we\u2019re all on the same page when it comes to employee experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u2018companies and their people working together to create personalised, authentic experiences that ignite passion and tap into purpose to strengthen individual, team, and company performance.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/organization\/our-insights\/the-organization-blog\/employee-experience-essential-to-compete\">McKinsey &amp; Company<\/a> on EX.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The key elements to retain here are that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Employee experience is not created by your management team in an ivory tower and then cascaded down. It is done in collaboration with your people, and requires their constant input<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee experience is unique to each organisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we like to summarise it in an even simpler way. EX is about getting great people, and keeping great people. This may already be an area of focus for some. But others may feel overwhelmed at the thought of even starting to tackle it. Because if EX is a unique concept, in constant evolution in order to keep up with your staff\u2019s expectations, that needs to consider every single touchpoint in their lifecycle\u2026 Where do you even begin? Crafting something that will shape everything from before your employee has even joined your organisation to after they have left, without any structure to follow, can seem like an impossible task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst it\u2019s true that improving EX within your company may require some hard graft, there are however some tools to help with the process. And one of those comes in the shape of a triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Let\u2019s Talk Talent triangle model<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\" src=\"http:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-1024x732.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-212159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-1024x732.png 1024w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-1536x1098.png 1536w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-2048x1464.png 2048w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-252x180.png 252w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-540x386.png 540w, https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/LTT-Triangle-Model-840x601.png 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we believe in getting shit done. We believe in starting by doing something. Anything. Because if you\u2019re looking at the whole road ahead and waiting for everything to perfectly fall into place, you may never get started. The same applies with improving EX within your organisation, which can be done one step at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Start with your big question<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you look at improving everything at once, ask yourself what your most urgent issue is. Are you struggling to attract the right people? Is retention a problem in a key team within your business? Or are absenteeism levels at an all time high? If so, start with that. And if you don\u2019t really know what deserves your immediate focus, find out. Do an audit. Send out a survey. Get to the bottom of the issue and get staff to tell you exactly what would make the biggest difference in their working lives. Once your first step has been identified, you\u2019ll be able to structure all the building blocks and work streams you will need to utilise in order to reach your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Focus on the right things<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Perks are just that. Perks. They are more like the icing on the cake, as opposed to true motivation-generating factors. And if the cake is bad, no amount of icing will make eating it a good experience. So before you start a public relations campaign full of side-benefits to seduce future and current employees, start with asking yourself what truly creates the kind of drive that makes people get up in the morning rearing to go to work. This part requires getting to know your staff and understanding what drives them on a personal level. And there are several ways to achieve this. Engagement surveys, focus groups and exit interviews are fairly easy to implement can be a great source of qualitative data. But they shouldn\u2019t be considered as a one-off exercise. It is important to use those tools to create a benchmark that will allow you to monitor the progress of your efforts, on both recruiting the right people and keeping them engaged throughout their lifetime with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more, we have written a blog about the three motivation-generating factors that will truly generate engagement amongst your talent pool: <a href=\"https:\/\/letstalktalent.co.uk\/how-cause-community-and-career-are-your-best-tools-for-attracting-and-retaining-talent\/\">cause, community and career<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the bulk of your efforts and resources should go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Review regularly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff\u2019s expectations of what good EX is about change all the time, and so should your efforts and focus. For example, coming to work from 9 to 5 on a fixed workstation was the norm a few years ago. Today\u2019s professional scene is different and often allows for flexible hours, remote working and multi-location teams. And this is but one element of the employee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to keep up with what\u2019s important for your people is to set up continuous reviews of every single touchpoint in their lifecycle. Ensure you have systems in place for regular check-ins. Encourage feedback through honest and transparent discussions. And empower your managerial team to have those conversations and take corrective action when needed. Regular communication is key to understanding your employees and their expectations, and it requires having the courage to hear the truth about what they want, or don\u2019t want, out their career with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>: Is Employee Experience A Passing Fad?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst some organisations\u2019 employee experience programs may be slightly out of focus, it\u2019s clear that those initiatives are derived from a profound desire to improve staff\u2019s motivation and overall satisfaction levels, which is good news in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the key to achieving that goal is not through a long list perks and benefits, but comes from a dedicated focus on those areas that will have the greatest and deepest impact on employees\u2019 professional life. Companies that do well on this front put as much importance on both attracting and retaining talent, creating a transparent and realistic view of what it is to work for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the current climate may appear uncertain, we think it represents the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the curve. Those who are open to change and will modify the course to adapt to their employees\u2019 new realities, current and future, will benefit. So use this time to check in and review your employee experience\u2019s key milestones. Ask your staff which elements of this new reality they wish to take with them once the storm has passed and lead the way by setting the new workplace normal.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great place to start is our <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_7tg-h3jwQmOoXw8fMwEGVQ\">employee experience whatsapp course<\/a>, starting on Monday 18th May.
