How much thought does your organization give to the Employee Experience? And what tools can you use to enhance it?

In this year’s first episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Owen Ferguson are joined by Danny Seals to discuss his new book The Insightful Innovator: How to level up your Employee Experience.

We discuss:

· The advantages of strengthening the Employee Experience

· How ‘designing a relationship’ can set your projects up for success

· Tools and techniques to enhance the Employee Experience.

During the conversation, Danny referred to Employee SPIES (Services, Products, Interactions, and Experiences, while applying a Subscription model to work).

He also refers to EVP (Employee Value Proposition).

And he discussed The Ladder of Abstraction as a tool for connecting with stakeholder groups.

All are discussed in more detail in his book.

In ‘What I Learned this Week’, Owen recommended the research paper: Cook, A., Thompson, M., & Ross, P. (2023). Virtual First Impressions: Zoom Backgrounds Affect Judgements of Trust and Competence

Ross recommended The Economist’s workplace podcast Boss Class.
