Over the last 20 years of helping companies increase productivity, we found that implementing a quality training program is the number one way to improve productivity, increase retention and morale in a company. The better your people know software and cloud services, the more productive they can be. 

In our own company, we 've moved from face-to-face training to cloud-based video training. We add lots of new software each year and want to learn without the added expense and time of traveling to training classes. We're amazed at how wonderful the training classes have been to watch and use to improve our skill sets. The instructors have been excellent. They know their stuff and do a great job in making the subjects interesting.

I recently had the pleasure of being the guest speaker at JazzHR's Thought Leadership Webinar. We discussed  how to increase your top candidate hires while reducing your time and cost....and tips for reducing employee turnover by significantly improving the "Employee Experience" at a company.

Here are 3 Top Tips for improving your "Employee Experience"

Digital Transformation has rolled into just about every industry. The most successful projects have focused on two things:

1. Improving the Customer Experience with your company

2. Improving the Employee Experience in your company

For this article, we focused on how to improve the Employee Experience.  We break up the employee experience into three main phases:

1. Pre-employment

2. Employment

3. Post-employment

I will go through each phase and share some ideas, best practices and tips to help you improve the employee experience… and hire the top candidates and reduce turnover.

How many good candidates have you lost by being too slow in getting back to them? 

I'd like to share a short story with you. I recently connected with a Sales Executive who just joined a very successful company that has been in business for over 15 years.  One of his first priorities was to hire three new sales people for his team.  He commented about how he had just lost a good sales candidate that he wanted to hire (after 4 weeks of investing his time in the interviewing process) because his company took too long getting back to her.  He also shared that the company still uses email and spreadsheets as the primary technology for recruiting, communicating and tracking new employee hires.  Sound familiar?

The Digital Transformation megatrend is dramatically changing the way executives, management and employees collaborate and communicate in the workplace. With technology evolving at such a rapid pace, it's more important now than ever before to keep up your skill sets and adapt to new ways of doing business. More than 50-percent of the jobs of tomorrow aren't even in existence at this time - infact no one has even thought of them yet! Continuous learning, personal development and coaching are a necessity in all aspects of life to survive and thrive the Digital Transformation megatrend that is just beginning.
