Building business value with employee experience
Research from MIT’s Center for Information Systems Research (CISR).
Treat your people like they’re customers
It’s not new to say a great customer experience (CX) is a competitive differentiator. So why has it taken us so long to realize the same is true for our employees?
A great employee experience is no longer a luxury, it is a must-have in order to drive sustainable competitive advantage. But it’s about much more than just technology. It’s also about transforming the whole workplace experience (WX). In addition to modern workplace platforms, it encompasses business operations, culture and the employee experience.
“In the past, social media meant that passengers were often better informed of the status of their journey than staff. Now, all RET employees can remain completely up to date — whether on the bus, tram or metro train.”
EX + CX = competitive advantage
Customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) are two halves of the same virtuous circle. Applying the principles of customer-centricity to your employees will create a more relevant EX. And in turn, this can help boost productivity, cost efficiency, business growth and value creation.
Research from the Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) at MIT Sloan School of Management shows that firms with the best EX achieve business benefits, including*:
- Double the customer satisfaction
- Twice the innovation
- 25% greater profitability compared to competitors
