Five Things You Can Do Right Now To Improve Employee Experience

 
1. Communicate
Not all companies put as much energy into communicating internally as they do externally. Your employees are also an audience and key stakeholder. They are one of your customers. Consider offering more than email as your platform; speak where the conversation is already happening. Sharing good and bad company news should be done with your employees first, and fast. Communicate your purpose and values in every way you can. Hold virtual meetings as well as live meetings.
2. Celebrate
Celebrate work wins, birthdays, promotions, anniversaries or when someone buys a house or a adopts a baby. It is extremely important to make time to celebrate individual employees and team achievements. It doesn't need to be more complex that having a birthday cake and allowing people to develop personal relationships as they celebrate the birthday. Recognizing and rewarding great wins are what helps develop connected culture, where employees have a sense of belonging to a company.
3. Learn And Launch
Plenty of organizations commit to learning and development, but in practice, the work gets in the way. When people are confident, they are often more successful, and learning supports that confidence in work performance. By fostering a commitment to learning, coupled with career progression conversations, your employees will want to invest in the company as you are investing in them. Giving employees an hour a day to invest in themselves through learning or passion projects will make a big difference.
4. Remove The Barriers
We build up systems in order to support the work we do. Sometimes, we over-complicate what should be an easy task. Take a look at your systems, and see what can be simplified. Your employees want to know you are taking the burden off of them to do their job so that they feel supported.
5. Hire For Diversity
You don’t get better results from doing the same thing all the time. People who learn and experience new environments make for better, well-rounded work. If you hire more of the same, you will get more of the same. Employing individuals with diverse backgrounds improves your perspective and problem-solving skills.
