Steal These Thoughts!
When someone is not performing as expected in the workplace, it’s quick to pass judgement.
You might think they’re lazy, incompetent or just not capable of completing the tasks they’ve been set. All of these things might be true but they might not be too.

Before the pandemic, most organisations looked at building a better employee experience as a nice to have. It was the thing you’d say you value most to the external world to prop up your employer brand. But, most likely the element you least invested in or understood.
The term “employee experience” kinda felt like one of those HR buzzwords that people love to use at company events, right?
