What makes the workplace a wonderful experience?
Well, that's not an easy question to answer.
Today, companies are constantly searching for new ways of engaging employees and building an atmosphere in which employees love to work for decades.
Businesses need to look beyond just benefits and expand their emphasis to include technologies, physical environments, and corporate culture.
In this podcast Lionel Paul David talks about the secret to a great workplace experience. According to Lionel, designing the workplace experience approach should be human centred and not copy pasted from other organizations. HR teams should have a grip on the employee profiles, understand their background, demography, needs, wants and desires which will make each employee feel appreciated. Their approach should also be proactive and dynamic.
