As I’m seeing more and more discussion about employee experience, I’m not finding a lot of content about how to activate and do the work. The reason I’m so bullish about the concept of employee experience is that it is proactively actionable whereas traditional employee engagement practices are largely reactive. Organizations can intentionally design the employee experience to improve engagement and performance.

To put it another way, engaged employees show up and are involved, not only because they’re paid to be, but because they’re invested, emotionally or otherwise.

It’s not only about the rewards they redeem, or any other recognition program KPIs you can imagine. While these indicators can give you an idea of how well your program is performing , at the end of the day, it is the emotional effect on your employees that matters.

I first ran across Gallup’s “State of the American Workplace” report in 2013, and distinctly remember the disgust I felt as I read it. Until that moment, I had assumed I was an anomaly—an individual who’d had the misfortune of landing at several of a small handful of poorly run companies in existence. I didn’t think it possible that an economic force like the U.S. could be loaded with businesses.

Some see such flexibility as a way to promote employee satisfaction and aid in recruiting talent.

We compare ourselves to others every day. It starts when we're very young: who can run faster, who earns more A's on report cards, or who has more pieces of candy. As we mature, the types of comparisons we make change, but we're still making comparisons: who earns more money, who performs better in the job, and so on. In the workplace, these comparisons become formalized through the organization's performance evaluation system.
