Exciting new idea: we are doing a series on employee experience! Today’s episode is number 3 talks about the employee experience of every day life as an employee. This is about understanding what each employee needs and wants and providing the training, tools, mentorship, and guidance to help them be successful. And for employees, it means showing up and being the best you can be. Generally, people leave companies because of lack of a supportive manager and/or a fear about the company’s future. They also leave because of career development, compensation, and logistics like commutes. The #1 important thing about being an employee is the mutual understanding of what is expected and what it’s like to be in each role (meaning the manager needs to understand what their team member’s days are like). How do you find out? Do your 1:1 meetings and learn what their day is like. What do they like or not? Understand if your people are happy. One great question to ask in a 1:1 is: what surprises have come up? Another is: what surprises have you experienced?
