Engagement and the employee experience in 2023

Employee engagement has long been measured by organisations due to the positive impact engaged employees have on business performance.
In recent years, the conversation has broadened to the employee experience, which more widely describes the interactions between the employee and employer. Measuring and managing the employee experience has become a pressing priority to executives.
The relationship between employer and employee has been shifting over time. Employee expectations of the work contract have changed, triggered in part by the challenges of the pandemic. While employees still look for an employer who is enabling, embracing and empathetic, they are increasingly prioritising wellbeing, flexibility and work-life balance.
