It’s the billion pound question as businesses everywhere compete for talent.
A plethora of research shows that happy, engaged employees are more productive and less likely to leave an organisation, and that potential employees are more likely to apply for jobs at companies with a reputation for valuing their people.
This webinar marks the release of the EX50 report, a collaboration between Zone, Cognizant Digital Experience, People Management and Management Today, which celebrates the individuals championing employee experience.
We're exploring what makes an outstanding employee experience, the organisations that put people's needs first and tips on improving working culture.
Join us for an important, interactive conversation about the employee experience – and hear from HR professionals on our EX50 list that are leading the way.
