Employee experience is something organizations should pay a lot more attention to.
Employee experience is the sum of all the things the employee experience at work. This could encompass a wide variety of factors, such as feedback, performance reviews, frequent communication, opportunity to grow, poor work environment, bad management, etc.
An employee’s experience decides whether they will continue to stay at an organization or move on. It can also determine how many people they are willing to refer to jobs within the organization or whether they warn them away. Therefore, it is important for organizations to create a positive and rewarding employee experience for employees.
One of the things that can greatly influence employee experience is performance reviews. Performance reviews encompass a gamut of factors, such as feedback, career growth, development, praise, etc. These have a direct impact on an employee’s experience.
As such, it is important to create a good performance review culture, especially one that makes employees feel like it is enhancing their time at the organization, instead of making them feel like they need to flee as soon as they can.
This infographic gives 5 performance review tips that can help improve employee experience.
“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” — Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company. Putting together a high-performing team isn’t just about tossing together a bunch of fantastic individual contributors and then hoping for the best.
You might as well throw together a few sticks of dynamite, pour oil on it, and then light it. The end result is an explosion. Good or bad, is anyone’s guess.
High performing teams are rare for a reason. They are composed of a number of good qualities, all of which work well together. Like the cogs in a well-oiled machine. High-performing teams require little outside interference and instead set their own team dynamics. When managers chance upon high-performing teams, it’s important to continue to nurture them, without overstepping boundaries, but also without giving them full reign.
Here are 6 traits of high performing teams that distinguish them from normal teams.
Remember, a high-performance team will not just possess one of these characteristics. Rather, they possess of these characteristics and maybe even more, though those may be specific to the field they are working in!

The pandemic has yet to pass, but in many countries, employees are resuming work from their physical locations, with all precautions.

Employee turnover is a constant problem in companies all over the world. Every company does its best to retain existing talents and at the same time attract new ones.

As a result, whenever a new employee joins the organization, there are costs involved. Interviewing, background checks, selection, onboarding, and training, each step till the time a new employee joins, has cost involved in terms of time and money.

Most of us globally have been working from home or in a hybrid environment for over a year now; it is more than what we ever imagined. Considering the current situation, we may continue to work remotely, at least for some time now.
While initially companies and employees were equally skeptical of working from home, but it has its own benefits for both. It helped companies to reduce their costs and recruit employees from the global talent pool. On the other hand, employees gained the flexibility to work from anywhere and no need to travel to work.
Initially, many of us blended seamlessly with the process. But recent statistics suggest that the number of employees who reported stress, anxiety, and loneliness has increased. Not only this, but they also reported extra screen hours as compared to what they used to do previously. It affects their mental and physical health, makes them feel exhausted and less productive. As a result, they become disengaged and disconnected from the organization. It impacts the overall productivity of the employees, which ultimately affects the organization.
