29 September 2021 — Lessons Learned — STOP Talking About Employee Communications; START Talking About Creating a Global Employee Experience

Employment is no longer just a transaction — now it must go beyond the paystub. Both the employee and employer are asking: What's in it for me? When you both decide the answer to that question, everyone benefits. More retention. More productivity. More loyalty. In this war for talent, employee experience (EX) needs to be top of mind for every organization.

This webinar reveals insights about the most important trends shaping EX, and what your competitors and most progressive companies are doing to evolve.

Leave with practical ideas to start a plan with actionable steps on how to advance the employee experience — ultimately reaching your organization's goals.
