Course Introduction

As the war for talent intensifies in our competitive global economy, highly talented individuals are increasingly looking for jobs that fit their lifestyle, give them opportunities to grow and connect them to greater meaning and purpose. At the same time, workplaces are becoming more transparent than ever.

What happens at work between leaders and employees can quickly go viral, and former employees can leave reviews about past and even current employers on social media. The consequences for employer brands can be severe. For these reasons, many employers have begun focusing on improving their employee experience (EX).

This Employee Experience: Effective Strategy, Design and Implementation Masterclass provides HR, EX, internal communications and OD professionals with the essential knowledge, skills, methods and tools to design an end-to-end EX strategy and programmes for their organisations. Conducted in a highly interactive manner, the content will include exercises to enable group learning and sharing of best practices, as well as case study discussions and videos.
