DEX (Digital Employee Experience): Return of the Jedi

The corporate world has experienced a tectonic shift and is still rocking.  Quarantining, lock-downs, and imposed homework are slowly making place for a renewed view on work. Hybrid, flexible. Freedom but within limits. Remote but with an invitation for social corporate gathering. Back to office, but not always.
The experience employees have with their employers is more and more anchored on a strong digital backbone. The workplace matured into a phygital construction. The workspace is more and more digitized. Employer Branding is a key weapon in the battle for talent.
Digital Employee Experience and Digital Customer Experience are the new three-letter-words.
How will we guarantee adhesion to corporate culture and values? How do we turbocharge internal communication?  How will we share purpose and forge and maintain relationships?
Your Jedi knights are already there : time to unleash the untapped power of your workforce ambassadors….

Talk

Don’t miss the beat: Considerations and opportunities around the future of work

As we leave the dynamics of a global pandemic behind, one of the major challenges for today's decision makers is how to organise and enable their employees to do their best work while leading healthy lives.

This talk focuses on the most recent survey data around hybrid and remote work, inspiring stories from organisations that are leading the way, and the digital tools that enable them to do so. We are convinced that the right combination of practices will create exceptional employee experiences which, in turn, lead to a better work-life balance, increased efficiency, and stronger trust – resulting in customer satisfaction, momentum and growth.

Talk

Live: Gamification as a catalyst for employee involvement

In most companies, the intranet is an important communication and collaboration tool. Yet, many companies struggle to make their intranet engaging and fun to use. In an ever involving and highly interactive world, this gives intranets a top-down and boring connotation.

Meet gamification. By introducing game-like elements to your intranet platform, you can incentivise your employees down the paths you want them to go. According to studies, gamification can boost your intranet adoption and overall employee engagement by more than 80%!

In this talk, Peter will demonstrate how the power of an intranet platform based on Liferay DXP, combined with employee engagement platform Ambassify, can give intranet gamification a head start in your company.
