When looking at 2021’s employment trends, one of the key developments was prioritising the employee experience. According to WTW’s 2021 Employee Experience Survey, almost 9 in 10 APAC employers can attribute the shift in priority to their success post-pandemic, and will maintain investing in EX for the next three years. Enhancing the EX among your workforce can see a surge in engagement, productivity, wellbeing and job longevity/retention.
Since employers have requested that their workforce return to the office after the peak of Covid-19, many businesses have suffered the effects of The Great Resignation. To combat employee resignation levels, the only option is to adapt, starting with understanding how diverse the employee journey is.
Our CEO and Founder, Neal Walters, had this to say: “What is old news to the western world, Japan and Asia are now monitoring these trends as the return to work is starting later than North America or Europe. Assessing ‘employee experience’ post-pandemic is now critical for HR/business Leaders. As companies focus on profits, while faced with less government financial aid, rising interest rates and price sensitive inflation, it will be harder to offer certain benefits/salaries employees have become accustomed to. In Japan, loyalty to employer is typically strong. However if the post-pandemic environment asks employees to remain loyal in tighter times people will no doubt rethink their personal priorities and situations.”
