Agenda Highlights
The perfect employee app; design, benefits, sustainability
The number of employee apps - bespoke, "best-of-breed" or introduced alongside enterprise platforms by vendors such as Microsoft, IBM and Salesforce has grown significantly in the last 12-24 months. I recently did a quick count and found more than 70 different apps catering specifically for employee populations in large organisations.
This market and its products was immature when we last zoomed in on it a couple of years ago. We revisit the topic, discuss the merits and applications in your organisation - if you have any apps.
What has been transformative? What is popular? What is less successful? And if you have not integrated employee apps as part of your digital employee ecosystem, what is the reason?
Your Challenges & Opportunities
Bring one topic or question you would like to discuss in the group:
- something you would like expert feedback (opinions...) on
- something you want to pitch - and would like input on
- something that is currently proving challenging
Be ready to talk through a little context and the sort of feedback you are looking for. Try to be as specific as possible. Ideally, share a brief description of it on Workplace
Follow up on the session on “Measuring Impact” from December
Have you done anything with the ideas and takeaways discussed at the last session? Have you identified any usable and meaningful business goals / KPIs that you could tie the digital performance metrics to?
We assess the validity of the ideas generated and whether they have proven useful anywhere.
From ROI to ROX!
OK... so what is ROX?
Where ROI (Return on Investment) measures the return on one's investment (i.e. how much money we invest and how much money we get back in x number of years), ROX measures across the company to find relationships that have decisive significance for the customer and employee experience - and which can ultimately lead to an improvement of the bottom line.
Jonas Bladt Hansen has headed up internal- and employee communications efforts in a number of large companies in recent years. He is currently consulting; helping organisations who wish to push the envelope within the employee communication / employee experience arena. In collaboration with Jonas, we have created a walk-through of the definition of and thinking behind ROX. This will provide the context for a discussion and exploration of how this might be adopted and applied in your respective organisations.
Suggested reading before the session: In the future companies measure return on experience before return on investment here is why
The best RIGHT NOW
We review conferences, training and literature.
We look at and assess the value to us of some of the awards and reports highlighting “the best of”. These include the StepTwo (James Robertson) Intranet & DW Showcase and the NN Group’s 10 Best Intranets. Bring any resources and references you have found useful and worth sharing with the group.
