Design the pilot for digital employee experience so its result is decisive rather than merely encouraging.
Designing the Digital Employee Experience and Improving Hybrid Workplaces
A working programme in digital employee experience for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Vendors sell digital employee experience as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. The constraint on the wider digital and data-driven work agenda is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. The course covers this part of digital and data-driven work at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants who influence digital employee experience without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this area of digital and data-driven work rather than to abstract argument. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the digital and data-driven work discipline and under-invest in testing it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of digital employee experience to standardise and which to leave flexible. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this part of digital and data-driven work among the areas with the widest performance spread. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of digital and data-driven work will be evidenced six months later.
