Why is employee experience important?

Employee experience is about optimizing the interactions that employees have throughout their journeys at your organization, from pre-hire to retirement. It is not just a nice-to-have that HR can work on when they have the time. Positive employee experiences can lead to higher job satisfaction and employee engagement, which result in better business outcomes for the organization. According to an MIT CISR study, organizations that invest in EX have double the customer satisfaction and 25% more profitability than those that don’t.

Investing in a comprehensive employee experience training, like AIHR’s Design Thinking and Employee Experience course, helps you gain the skills to deliver these kinds of results.

What is design thinking for HR?

Design thinking for HR is a human-centered problem-solving approach that enables organizations to deeply understand employee needs and design solutions that meaningfully improve the employee experience. Instead of relying on assumptions or traditional HR processes, design thinking guides HR professionals through a structured process: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test, to create innovative practices that enhance every stage of the employee journey.

By applying design thinking, HR teams can redesign outdated processes, build more engaging employee experiences, and deliver solutions that drive both performance and satisfaction.
