Employee Experience

by Ben Whitter

Develop a Happy, Productive and Supported Workforce for Exceptional Individual and Business Performance

For organizations to maintain their competitive advantage, their people need to be performing to the best of their abilities. But in a world of increasing stress and pressure, of rapid technological change and digital overload, supporting and developing employees has never been more difficult. To develop top-performing employees, HR professionals need to move beyond ad hoc engagement initiatives and instead to design and embed employee experience throughout an organization's processes and culture - from the moment an employee sees a job advert to the moment they leave the company. Employee Experience is a practical guide to achieving this.

The Effortless Experience

by Matthew Dixon, Nick Toman, Rick DeLisi

Companies devote untold time and resources trying to dazzle customers. Yet CEB's careful research proves that is wildly overrated: loyalty has a lot more to do with how well companies deliver on their basic promises than on how dazzling the service experience might be. Forget bells and whistles and just solve your customer's problems.

The Effortless Experience lays out the four pillars of a low-effort customer experience, with robust data, in­sights and profiles. Here are tools and templates you can start applying right away to improve service, reduce costs, and ultimately generate the elusive loyalty that the 'dazzle factor' fails to deliver.

The Practical Guide to Experience Level Agreements (XLA's)

There are not yet many books about XLA's as a foundation for Enterprise Employee Experience, which is often managed by Service Owners in supporting functions.

We created our own Practical XLA Guide to help understand Experience Level Agreements in an Enterprise Service Management (ESM) context.

This Practical Guide to XLAs is like a small book, that you can finish in about 1 hour. Worth every minute of it.
