Webinar: The Perfect Employee Experience - How Wellness Programs Fit Into The Big Picture

Presenter: Nick Patel

Moderator: Ara Josefsson

Availability: On-Demand

Length: 45 minutes

Topic:

Employee wellness is the goal; employee experience is the execution.

Jacob Morgan interviewed 150 psychologists, economists, and business leaders around the world and analyzed more than 250 diverse organizations to determine the impact employee experience has on the success of companies. Based on those conversations and analyses, he identified three environments that matter most to employees: cultural, technological, and physical. Only 6% of the companies were investing heavily in all three — and those “experiential organizations” (Adobe, Accenture, Facebook, Microsoft, and others) saw performance gains that make a strong financial case for investing in employee experience.

So what does investing in employee wellness experience really mean? First, it involves thinking long-term, so pop-up engagement programs do not work. They temporarily and unsustainably increase engagement. Morgan suggests companies invest in long-term cultural, technological, and physical improvements for employees.

This webinar uses Morgan’s research to create an Employee Wellness Experience Framework to demonstrate that wellness programs shouldn’t be just a one-time step challenge or onsite fitness class and goes far beyond offering free snacks options. Instead, experiential organizations use strategic solutions that consistently address all three environments of employee wellness experience. We will discuss the importance of each environment and what employers can do to make incremental improvements that will sustain over time.
