About this course
Deploying successful strategies for employee experience (EX) can generate significant benefits for your organization, including improved business outcomes, increased employee satisfaction, and enhanced innovation.
If you want to win outside, you should start inside. As we all know, the success of a company is defined by the customer experience (CX), but the customer experience is delivered by your employees.
This 2-Day Design Thinking Applied to People Strategies Course will immerse you into the latest thinking and best practices on Design Thinking. Design Thinking applied to people strategies can help organizations create a more engaging and human-centered employee experience. Our team is built up of seasoned practitioners in both the Design and People areas, with a track record of successful strategy implementation in leading companies, delivering tangible results.
This course is suited for people teams who want to gain more insights in Design Thinking so that they could apply this framework to build engaging experiences in their organization.
How can you develop an employee-focused vision?
How can you design experiences that will have impact on the well-being and engagement of employees?
How can you create “stickiness” of processes and products that the people team designs and implement?
These are just some of the questions we will tackle during this course, along with other business challenges that can be applied with the user in mind.
