Improving Employee Experience 2021

Online: Wednesday, October 20, 2021 | Time: 12:00-2:15pm ET / 9:00-11:15am PT

Processes and strategies to create a more engaging and inspiring
workplace

This past year underscored the critical role of employee experience while organizations navigate through unprecedented change. Overnight, organizations had to forge a plan to help employees adapt to this drastic transition and maintain a positive virtual work environment.  

As organizations begin to rebound from the pandemic and set goals for 2022, HR leaders must rethink and reshape their employee experience strategies. Here is our opportunity to build stability around hybrid workplaces, embracing what works and improving where needed. HR leaders also must factor in the generational shift that will occur by 2025. Studies have revealed that by this time, Millennials and Gen Z will replace Gen X and Baby Boomers as the dominant generations in the workplace. The success of the public sector will be contingent on its ability to attract and retain the next generation of employees.  

In order to meet the demands of the future workplace and workforce, HR leaders must evaluate and review how they are engaging employees at each stage of the employee life cycle. A well-implemented EX framework can have a positive impact on employer branding, boost productivity, increase engagement and drive retention. As HR leaders prepare for the new normal, what are the EX tools and strategies that can empower employees and provide them with an experience that they find exciting and rewarding?  

Join Public Sector Network’s Improving Employee Experience as we explore case studies, discuss key trends, and help overcome challenges in designing a hybrid workplace strategy built to facilitate an enriching employee experience. The session will bring together a cross-section of employees sharing their workplace experiences, celebrating what’s great, as well as ideas for making the public sector an even better place to work.
