The greatest asset of every business is its people but getting the most out of it requires providing the ideal working conditions. A decade ago, the term employee experience was not a top priority for organizations, but now more than ever, employers started to pay attention to the importance of their employee’s work experience.

But why does employee experience matter? Everything in a company is impacted by it, such as the business’s overall performance, happiness, and employee engagement. For most people, work is the place where they spent most of their time, so it is fundamental to optimize employee experience to promote physical, psychological, and financial well-being.

 

What is Employee Experience?

The term “employee experience” is self-explanatory. It relates to how an employee perceives their potential and abilities and the effect of the company on their well-being. Employee experience has only recently been quantified as the combination of culture, technology, and workspace – although it is most frequently connected with the workplace because it is where all these elements are combined.

Employee experience truly entails igniting passion, pride, happiness, and confidence in workers and their work. Companies that are successful in accomplishing this provide a favourable employee experience; those that fail may give employees a dull or unpleasant experience.

What makes a positive Employee Experience?

Employees are looking for a work environment that helps them learn, grow, and reach their full potential. It is important for employees to have a deep sense of belonging and feel valued, especially with inclusive managers and open communication policies.

At Prime Engineering Poland, we have a communication policy based on honesty and transparency. We seek to give our employees honest feedback about their work, so they feel appreciated and included in the team. From day one, we ensure that no employee feels left out by investing in a good onboarding experience and get-togethers throughout the year – a party night, a beer after work, or even a pizza day at the office – small things that make a difference when it comes to the employee experience.

If you intend to find a purpose in your career path, we also make room for personal development. Our employees can count on the possibility of evolving their career path and we have several opportunities specifically designed for our workers. In our offices, we offer learning and training programs so you can continue to grow as a professional while working with us.

More aspects contribute to a positive employee experience. After the pandemic, studies show that 51% of workers prefer a hybrid work environment, so flexibility is now a requirement for many employees. Companies all over the world have incorporated remote jobs to achieve a good employee experience, and Prime Engineering Poland is no exception: we fully support our employees by offering them the opportunity to work remotely or in flexible working hours, if necessary.

Benefits of a positive Employee Experience

Employee retention

Employee retention is extremely important to most businesses and companies. If your employees are happy with their work environment and conditions, they are more likely to stay in your company instead of pursuing new opportunities. An employee is less inclined to search for a better position when they are invested in their work and feel engaged. Engaged workers decide to advance their careers and expand at a company that offers them a superior employee experience.

 

Productivity

Employees are more motivated and productive and more likely to finish their work effectively when they are involved in a positive employee experience. Employee satisfaction is important, though, as unhappy workers will cost your company money. Employee disengagement and dissatisfaction increase the possibility of employees not working as hard to deliver solutions, which will lower customer satisfaction and profit.

 

Growth

Companies must understand that employee experience is important for both the company and the staff. You get better outcomes if your staff members are more motivated and productive.  Better outcomes translate to more growth and profitability. Motivated workers help your business expand more quickly and bigger by thriving, completing projects on schedule, and succeeding. When employees are not engaged, they do not suggest ideas that will improve the company.

 

Development

Employees who are satisfied with their work environment are more inclined to stay at the company and advance their education and training. This outcome is applicable to career advancement and promotion opportunities for employees as well.

 

At Prime Engineering Poland, we take our employee’s well-being and happiness very seriously to ensure they have a good employee experience. Are you ready to join us?
